Hello,
I recently got Windows 7 on my laptop. That ment I lost all of my files that I had on Windows Vista. Now, most of the music and stuff I had on my laptop had an original file on my desktop computer in the other room in my house. What I did before is that I connected my desktop to my laptop wirelessly and I just got all my music from there. Now, I have Windows 7 and I don't know how to do that. Can someone please explain? I have Windows Vista on my desktop and I have Windows 7 on my laptop and I want to connect them together so I can view files on my desktop, on my laptop. Thanks in advance.
