New Member Posts: 4 OS: xp	We need to buy a new laptop and are looking at a dell. The programs that we need to keep are on our hp laptop and we don't have the original data discs. Can we buy the new laptop and put the old hard drive in it? Or, so you have a suggestion about how to get the programs out of the old computer and transfer to the new one????
