[Shop-talk] moving computer files

[john niolon]

shop content... I use my computer to buy tools.

had a few power surges / losses the other night and my desktop motherboard died in the process.  I’m looking at a refurbished dell unit with a solid state drive as a replacement.  I haven’t had to copy a full hard drive since you used a parallel cable and some software who’s name escapes me.   What’s the best way to do this from a HDD to a SSD nowadays ??
lt’s a small format machine and I don’t know if I can put my old hard drive in it to slave it for the copying.

Its also a windows 10 machine and my old machine was windows 7...  will win10 run all the software my 7 machine did ??  I’m getting so computer illiterate !!!
