I just bought a new computer because my old computer is obsolete. I backed up my pictures and documents to an external hard drive, but don't know how to transfer the files to my new computer.

How did you backup your files from old computer to external HDD ?

 

  1. If simply copy/move and paste you can do the same for the way back from external HDD to new computer.
  2. If using backup, which software did you use ? You have to use same software to restore from external HDD to new computer.

Hope this makes sense.

 

Regards,

BH
