    Have you opened File Explorer and clicked on This PC on the left? It should show you your C drive and D drive ( if you have one) and then a drive letter with USB beside it

    It will probably be the D or F.

    Click on each of them and you should see contents similar to your C:\ drive (current laptop)

    When you find this drive (assuming windows 10), click into the Users folder, then the folder with your Username, and then Pictures folder.

    Your pictures should be in this folder. You can then select them all, and copy and paste (or drag & drop) to a folder on your new hard drive (c:\ drive).

    Repeat above for Videos, replacing 'Pictures folder' with 'Videos folder'.

    If in doubt or unsure of above, is there anyone techie who could help?
