Can someone please tell me how to transfer files from laptop to pc as though I were a small child. I have no idea what I need to do or what equipment I need to get or whether I already have the equipment that I can use.
I have checked similar questions and the solution is apparently to install tcp/ip? run set up wizard? what is this? How do I do it?

If you have USB support on both, and are willing to spend some money, you could buy a USB RAM stick, the come in 64, 128, 512, and I think even 1Gig sticks. Plug in to USB installs like another drive. Copy files onto stick, pull stick out of one plug into the other and pull the files down. These sticks are very handy because they are totally portable, can plug into any USB port.

Before any advice can be given we have to know what each computer is and what operating system each is running. Also if you are running any form of broadband internet on each.
