Yeah! Will this wifi card work is my only question? Its the rev-a00 model and idk if I can just use my old one or not.

I'm afraid I don't know which wi-fi card you speak of, but it's likely to work

Oh I might have gotten the year wrong.

I hope it works, but should I just throw in a different wifi card just in case?

Also is it possible for me to transfer my data from my current computer to the other? I don't want to lose game progress in a couple things.

The the wifi: I would try to run an Ethernet cable because it will mean overall stabler conection, and that's especially important for online games. If you can't and the Wi-Fi card doesn't work, at least grab a $30 card capable of doing 802.11/ac (gigabyte does some, make sure it's PCI-E because the USB ones are bottlenecked by the USB and the lack of antennae).

 

As for transferring your data: you'll be able to plug the SSD into this new computer, install a couple drivers if you need and be back in action in no time.

Allright. My wifi router is about 15 feet away, through a hall and through a room. Its not possible. As for the data, if I put all my important data on an ssd, plug that into the new computer, transfer it to the new HDD, then put other stuff on the ssd, would that be fine?

Yeah, programs might behave a little weird if you move them from one folder to another (unless they're already installed in which case you're good to move them around).

Ehhh ill probably move the whole programs. I'm just talking about like 3 games and a few save files and configs for minecraft.
