Transferring Files Between Computers

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place for this question - but here goes - what is the fastest(best) way to transfer files from my old computer to my new computer? I have them connected to a router at home and have high-speed internet access to each one.

Thanks,
hoemee

Copy n Paste from one shared folder to another.

Or yank the drive out of the old machine and slave it to the new.

If I yanked the hdd out I would just copy and paste, right..........how do I do it with the shared folder option?

I think he meant you could set up a shared folder on your network (assuming you have one).

Well......I have three computers connected to a router....I am not sure if they are networked...they are all receiving high speed internet, but does this mean they are networked? If not I can post on another forum to get that up and running.....

ok.....I just ran the wizard for setting up a home network and I can see the other two computers from each one.....and I see the shared documents folders......is the process just copy and paste from one computer to the shared documents folder of another computer?
