I have internet on my computer and its several years old, if I buy a new computer, do I just take out the wires from the old computer and insert them to new computer to connect to the internet?
Old computer is running Vista Home and the new computer that I am thinking of buying would have W10.
Thanks

Yes that's right, are you placing the monitor too or just the base unit ?
If just the base unit make sure the 1 you want to buy has the right port/connection for the monitor.
I take it all your data is stored on an external hard drive ?
You thought about reinstalling vista, would mean you save some money.0 -
In a word, yes. I suggest, however, you don't get rid of the old one - it's always useful to have a spare.0
