Hi,
I've gotten myself into a bit of a mess and I'm not sure exactly what the best way to solve it is. My old Acer laptop was slowly dying (I was afraid the hard drive would crash at any time), so until I could decide on and buy a new computer, I copied all of my files onto an external hard drive and began to save everything there. I also have a large flash drive that I carry back and forth to work with me. Some (not all) of the same files are also on that flash drive. So it's ended up that I've made changes to the same files both at home and at work, creating different versions.
Now that I have a new computer, how in the world do I consolidate all of this onto the hard drive of the new one? I'm afraid there isn't any easy way to do this, but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Thanks for any advice or tips! Please try to keep the snarky comments to a minimum. I feel stupid enough already. I know, it's hard.
