Transferring files from dead laptops

Yes, you should be able to just pull up the files in Explorer and copy them over.

You may need to take ownership of certain directories (depending on the directory you're trying to access), though too. Usually it prompts you to ask for permission and then it scans the directory again.
 
I'd recommend using Dropbox to keep all of your files synced between computers so you don't have to worry about copying them. :thumbsup:
 
Some sort of cloud storage would be probably the easiest way to transfer files, but I dont like using google cloud or Dropbox. Once you upload contenet to them think about it they can see all that you upload. I have nothing to hide but still i would prefer a personal cloud. If you do have an old PC lying around you should look into ownCloud.org | Your Cloud, Your Data, Your Way!It makes your own cloud server! Its a really nice application to help you out, but if you want an easier setup then what else you could do is just use a flash drive to transfer them.
