Best Buy removed the hard drive and gave it too ...
Our home computer suddenly crashed and I decided just to my a new one. Best Buy removed the hard drive and gave it too me. I had prevously backed up all my documents, pictures and music but my wife had not. I decided to order this item in hope of getting her documents and some programs that I used that were not backed up. I am of very average computer literacy. The hard drive easily slid in and was inserted into the external hard drive. You then simply using its USB connection, connect it to your new computer then turn on the power. My new computer used Windows 10 which was new to me. It took a few minutes to find what on windows 7 was called "my computer" to locate the external hard drive. Once I located it I could see all the users documents and programs and simply copied them to the new computer. To get into the old hard drive you needed to put in your password as administrator. I used the password to the old computer, but when rejected put in the password for the new computer which worked. For the price and speed just can't beat it. Highly recommend for those who dont regularly backup everything.
