The easiest way is to have something like an external hard drive or usb flash drive then copy the files from the old computer and then take the usb flash drive or external drive and and plug it into the new computer and copy the files to it.
You will be using the concept of copy and paste or drag and drop to get the files.
You can only copy things such as your documents, music, pictures and videos. You cannot copy programs from one computer to the other, programs have to be reinstalled so that they can update the registry and other settings in windows to work.
The majority of your documents, music, pictures and videos will be in your MY DOCUMENTS folder.
You can't transfer programs, programs have to be reinstalled.
You can copy things like your My Documents Folder, My Pictures, My Videos, and Favorites to a usb flash drive or an external drive then put the drive into the usb port of the new computer and copy them to the appropriate folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, etc).
The simplest way is to use a usb flash drive or an external drive. Simply plug it into the tablet and open it once the computer recognizes it. Create a folder on the USB Flash or External and call it TabletPics for example. Then go to where the pictures on the tablet (probably in my documents or my pictures). You can copy the one picture from the tablet by highlighting it then right clicking on it and select copy or you can select Edit then copy at the top of the window where the pictures are. Then go to the usb flash drive or external drive and paste them by selecting Edit Paste or by right clicking anywhere within the Folder we created called TabletPics and select Past.. If you have a lot of pictures you want to copy you can try clicking on the first one you want to highlight it then go down to the last one you want and press the Shift Key and hold it while you Click on the last picture you want. It will highlight every thing you selected then you can copy them as we did before with the one picture and go paste them on the usb Flash Drive or External Drive in the Folder we created called Tablet Pics.
When you are done copying the pictures to the usb flash drive or external drive from the tablet, remove it and go plug it into the computer you want to put them on. It's the same process you will be copying pictures from folder TabletPics on the usb or external to a folder on the computer. Actually you can just copy the whole tabletpics folder by clicking on it and then Paste the whole folder on to the computer in the My Pictures folder.

Go to My computer and it should say something like Removable disk ( :h) , click onto it and thats whats inside ur USB, to transfer copy and paste the folders or just Move then to your removable disk
Think of your flash drive as a removable harddrive. When you plug it in to your computer, it becomes a drive on that system, much like your harddrive is C: and your CD or DVD may be E:.
Simply copy and paste the document file from where it is to where you want it <Computer to flashdrive, or Flashdrive to computer>.
Place the flash drive (mem stick) into the USB port of the computer. Copy the files to it. Remove it from the computer and put it into the USB port of the other computer. Copy the files from the flash drive to the computer hard drive.
The memorystick (flash drive) will show up as another disk in File Manager/Windows Explorer, and disappear when the device is removed.
You cannot transfer already installed games from computer to computer, only the files. The game must be installed from the original CDs in order to function.
4gb is not enough space to hold the entire My Documents directory unless you have an extremely small amount of data in it. If you take many photo's it wont be long before My Documents is too big to fit. Suggest that you back up this directory to a set of CDs or DVDs,
If you want to update a memory stick just copy My Documents from Vista to the memory stick. Vista will ask if you want to overwrite. Click [on overwrite all] and the job is done.
I hope someone has helped you by now! After you plug your flash drive into your computer USB 2 port, your flash drive should appear in "my computer" as a drive. You can rename that drive by clicking once on the drive and then right clicking your mouse and selecting "rename" and name it Your USB or something that reminds you its the USB Drive.
Whether you rename it or not, all you have to do once your computer has recognized the USB drive is to open the folder where your documents are kept and either "move" or "copy" them to the USB drive. Remember that "moving" the files will remove them from your computer and transfer them to the USB drive. Copying the files will leave a copy on your computer as it copies the file to your USB drive. You can also right click the file with your mouse and move the pointer over "Send To" and choose your USB drive from the list and it will Copy the file to your USB drive.
