Multiple questions about installing - transfer accounts etc.
My desktop PC has finally reached the end of its life. I had something to do with it (inadvertently pushing it to a quick end, but probably that's a story for another forum).
I decided to buy a laptop instead of a desktop PC.
Here's some background information:
My questions for which I would be grateful for some advice are as follows:All my data is saved on two disks. One of them, an SSD device had drive C on it. My documents, photos etc. were stored on an internal HDD (drive D).
I used three Windows accounts: 1. A Windows Administrator, 2. A local Administrator and 3. A local User.
I used the PC as a local User for day to day activities.
I run Windows 10 Pro for which I have a digital license. The laptop is going to have Windows Home edition. In both cases 64 bit.
The laptop is going to have a single SSD drive.
The laptop is a Dell Inspiron. The desktop PC was an HP model.
Since both the desktop PC's C and D drives were on internal disks I can use a gadget to connect them singly to my laptop. Thus I can have access to the old C or D drive.
I don't mind if I have to reinstall all my software to the new laptop.
1. How may I transfer the three Windows accounts to my laptop?
2. How can I transfer the data on the old D drive to the laptop's Documents folder?
3. Can I upgrade the Windows version on my laptop from Windows Home edition to Windows Pro? If so, how and possibly equally important, at which point should I do this?
