Re: New Computer
|
Unfortunately, the local guys are quoting much more than Dell so I think I'm going to have to go with them. Just a couple more questions:
For fear of stating the obvious, with the inclusion of the Internal Enhanced Wireless 802.11n PCIe Card, I assume that the wireless router/modem would not need to be hardwired to the PC meaning that I could put the router/modem anywhere?
Is there any other way of copying my files from the old laptop to the new PC without removing HDs etc? I'm not overly confident about doing this.
Currently, my old laptop is hardwired to the modem. When setting up my new system, would it be best to:
1. Set up the new PC using the existing modem, then replace that with the new modem/router? Or:
2. Install the new modem/router first, hardwiring it to my old laptop (not wireless) then replace the old laptop with the new PC. Or:
3. Install the new PC and router/modem in one go?
Sorry if the questions seem a bit 'basic' but as I've mentioned, it's my first foray into wireless and also my first computer changeover. Thanks again. Glynn.
