Hard drive swap?

[Blindeagle]

Hi i just built my new PC and put windows 10 on it. In my old pc which has windows 7 i want to get all my old movies and put them on my new drive. What would be the best way of doing this? 

 

Thanks

Just the movies? 

Connect the old drive and copy them over.

 

Come to think of it, DRM could be an issue. What kind of movies, how old, etc.

Share the drive (or folder) on the win 7 machine and copy the files on the win 10 machine.

Sharing by name is removed by default in win 10 so open the run command and type \\[win 7 ip address]

Then I guess you're OK. Just copy them over.

What's wrong with just copying the files from the hard drive? Am I missing something?

No, no. Just take the hard drive out of the Win7 machine and connect it to the Win10 machine. Then find the files on the drive and copy them to the new machine.

Yeah. It depends on your setup. Do you have an adsl modem/router or anything that you connect to via a cable or wifi?
