How to connect hard drive from computer to laptop

The stationary computer is outdated or failed, but a hard disk with numerous files accumulated over long years, fortunately for its owner, remained workers. There is a laptop in stock, and therefore it makes no sense to resort to the upgrade of the old company and "bring it into feelings."

When buying, make sure that you are present in the kit: two cords (the power adapter, which connects to the electrical network and the USB cable), the software disk that will be needed if the old operating system is installed on the laptop, the instruction and directly adapter itself is such a pretty thing with connectors.

For long-term use of a hard disk, purchase a modern USB 3.0 IDE and SATA adapter cable, which will easily allow you to connect the hard drive to the laptop in seconds. The kit also goes all the necessary cords and user instructions.
