movedata from one disk to another

[monere]

hi everyone!

I just bought a new desktop computer and would like to move all the files from the old HDD to the new one (which is a hdd-ssd hybrid, if that matters).

Anyway, where I really need help with is in the connecting of the old HDD to the new computer and allowing it to detect and use the old HDD.

Could I please get some tips/turorial/infographics/anything on how to do this?

Thanks a lot for any info you can give!

Buy an external hard drive enclosure. Install the old drive into it. Plug it into your laptop's USB port.
Windows should acknowledge it and you should see it as a new drive letter in Windows Explorer.

As surprising as it seems I don't have the needed $20 to buy it

And I need to move those files within the next 2 days, which is why I'm asking about how to do this myself.

Thanks for the tip, though!
