I would have posted this in the tech helpdesk but the place has been totally dead for weeks.

I recently had to get a new laptop(L1) because screen on my old laptop(L2) broke on the inside - the LCD part so now I cannot see what I'm doing at all on L2. I'm unable to even log in.

I was just wondering what are the ways I can transfer stuff such as my pictures & music from L1 to L2?

Thanks.

You should be able to access your documents/pictures/whatnot from the old laptop.

I don't, I'll have to ask around to see if any family members do.

Would some sort of USB that connects to both laptops work?

	the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
