Yes you can.

If you put it in the same place on the new machine, you might not even need to do any editing, but I don't know for sure about that as I don't know what editing is needed.

So I need to download itunes and then whack it all on the HD and go from there?

How you planning on copying it across?

Knipples · 21-11-2009, 11:29

Get everything in the itunes file (if I have one) and copy it to the external HD, and then plug that in the new laptop and copy it. Or does that not work?

Have the new one up and running now, am typing this from there!

copying would work yes but if you want to do save the headaches just copy everything in the iTunes/Music folder into your new iTunes library on your new machine

Having my first issue, found something I want to get off my newsgroup, so have installed DAP which is what I used to use, but when I click on the item in my newsgroup to download it it says that part of the DAP is missing and I need to reinstall it.

Happy to learn another way to borrow things but want to still use my newsgroup and the DAP always did it quickest compared with torrents.

For my newsgroup access I use Alt.Binz but am not sure what DAP is :/

Leave the pop up on. It's a useful security feature and once you have installed everything, you will really see it.

I would transfer stuff manually by setting up a network. Assuming you have a router connect both up and then right click on teh xp folders and allow share mode. You should then be able to see them on your new laptop under network.
Then just copy them across.

As for security just get the new microsoft one, it's very good indeed http://www.microsoft.com/security_es...aspx?mkt=en-us
