Hi,
I put my old pcs internal Hard Drive into an enclosure and plugged it into my new pc. After gaining permissions and waiting 5 mins I was able to view all my files that were on my old pc.
I have a folder named Pictures which is about 50GB this folder contains subfolders that are around 5-6 GB each. Should I just copy/paste the entire folder OR create a folder on my new pc called pictures 2010-2014 and copy/paste each subfolder in one by one to avoid any corruption issues. I'm unfamiliar with proper file copying practices. I have 2 more folders that are like this. Another is called Nikon and has subfolders containing numbers. Folder 1...2...3.. etc.up to 35 That one is 70GB. Should I copy/paste the Entire Nikon folder.
These files are my very important videos and pictures that I have collected over the last 5 years when I went to college so I didn't want to make a mistake.
My enclosure is usb 2.0 is it safe to plug this into a 3.0 port?
Also I have another User Account on the enclosure drive and I forgot to disable the password in win xp so access is denied when I try to open that one. All I have to do is put that drive back into my old pc go to control panel then turn off the password and put it back into the enclosure right?
that's the enclosure

I put my old desktop pc's 250 GB Maxtor internal in there (win XP)
My new pc is a Dell XPS 8700 SE with win 8.1 and I plugged the enclosure into the front.
Thanks for your time and help
