Hello. I just got a new Dell laptop. My old laptop looks like something Tom Petty pulled out of the sand in the video for "Good Love (Is Hard To Find)", and my old PC is a Frankenstein test machine from my dad's defunct QA company, so this is the first really functional machine I've had in years. I have stuff on those old machines, though, such as applications, that I'd like to salvage, and I'd maybe even like to retain them for storage. Trying to read tutorials and helpfiles is making my face bleed. I can't even tell if I'm asking for the right thing.
Neither machine has any functioning media devices--no disc drives, no cd-rom, no nada. The PC has a wireless modem and the old laptop has ethernet ports, but not vice versa. I have managed to set up a shared folder w/the PC via an ad hoc wireless connection, but what I'd really like is full access to both old machines through the new machine, so that I can treat them as external drives. I'd like to throw out the old monitor and keyboard. Is this possible? What is it called? How do I do it?
Thanking you in advance,
Mr Qalyn |
