Copy your files to it. copy them back to your new laptop. Chuck the old laptop in the bin. Job's a fish.

The OP might want to properly wipe the old laptop's hard drive before chucking it in the bin!

If you are moving to a new laptop, see if you can just remove it.

Then put it in a caddy if you need it later.
