    Holle Longland.......I've another possible suggestion .....
    When you get your new pc .......and its up and running .....simply remove the hard drive from your old one and install it in the new one as a slave ..........then you could transfer all the data......( not the operating system ) to the new machines hard drive and then wipe the old hard drive clean ........format it and you would have a nice clean empty hard drive .

    This is a simple operation.........might take 1/2 hour to make the switch......
    Then you could leave it in your new pc or put it back in the old one .....

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    Geez..That does sound simple, but I have no idea waht the pc looks like...And I would be affraid that my old pc would harm my new computer...Its real bad..runs so slow and does funny things sometimes..
    Thats probably what the computer tech does...huh
    One more question..is it better to leave the computer on all night or shut it down or just shut down the monitor?
    Thank you very much for all the posts!
