First, forgive me for being not very "up" on computer stuff. I'm posting here in the hopes of getting some info and help.
I realized that when I got rid of my old computer for this one (about 4 years ago or so) that I had a ton of photos on the old computer that I never transferred to this one. Now, on this one, I also have not only a ton of photos but some video as well. I know I'll be replacing this computer soon and I want to keep all the pics and video that I have.
Someone suggested an external hardrive. I looked at them on the best buy site and saw a few but I'm not sure of the difference. Here are my questions:
What size is the best? I guess I would need a large one since I have a ton of pics and some video (and will have a lot more video)
How do I move the stuff that is already on the computer to the external hardrive?
Can I load my photos directly from my camera to the external hardrive? Or do I have to put them on the computer first?
Any other info or input or advice will be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks!!!
