Answer
At least three option here
by Forum moderator Feb 8, 2013 9:56PM PST

1. Join both the computers together using your home network. (If you have one)
2. Use a large capacity thumb drive.
3. Use an external USB/Firewire hard drive.
4. Email the files to yourself and download them on the second computer.
5. Use Dropbox on both computers.

4 and 5 require you to have an internet connection to both computers. If you have that, and both computers can access the internet at the same time, then you probably have a home network. If that is the case, then option #1is the best choice

You can use Pen-drive to transfer your data. If Pendrive is not available,you can send all of your data to your email with the help of Internet service and download them on another computer. Wink
