3. Kinda depends how your file system is constructed.

For instance, on my home office PC, my business has a single folder on the C: drive. The entire business file, created over 24 years, is 25 gigs of files, drawings, data. It is easy to back up redundantly/concurrently on 2 32GB flash drives. So it would be easy for me to move to a new PC download the business files. Only problem I'd have is recreating my Desktop.....it consists of a dozen shortcut folders that I use for accessing my business files.

You could spend some time creating a C: Drive folder and transferring key folders/files into this new directory. Then copy/paste to a USB stick. Easy peasy.
