QuestionHi, I have about 3 laptops and an old tower computer that I'd like to transfer all the data to an external hard drive. What is the most economical way to do this?
Asked 5 years ago by scoopydoopy.
- Answer I had to do this with one a while ago (couple years) and found the easiest way was to have the geek squad do it only thing that made me mad was the call that it was done came as I pulled in my driveway 45 minutes after I dropped it off but that was the only thing so I picked it up the next day and all has been good

QuestionMy non-techy elderly father has an iPod Touch that I gave him back in 2008 and it’s on its last legs. I’d love to give him a new one but I’m too far away to assist with the transfer of all his music and games to the new iPod. Is that something you can do?
Asked 5 years ago by ShelleyV1.
- Answer Without a doubt! Data transfer and services through the geek squad or a snap. No one be the younger old would have any issues utilizing this service. Having an older father and myself we connected him with the geek squad and loved and use the service regularly!

QuestionI want to replace my 32 bit system to 64 bit when I get a new computer. How hard will it be to pull off the old data and put it on the machine? My current system is 32 bit, I will use a HDD-->External--->new HDD transfer. So that it runs at 64 bit.
Asked 5 years ago by Paqrat.
- Answer Hi there. Thanks for reaching out about this. Most systems that you'll buy nowadays are 64 bit with just a very few being on 32 bit. As far as moving the data, it shouldn't be too hard unless the hard drive in the old computer is failing.
