Picasa question.

i would still want a copy of all photos stored locally so would copy all photos from old pc either directly to new drive or once all photos have been uploaded to google photos you can then download to a local drive

Once I move photos to Google Photos, I can save from there (Google Photos) to a separate External HD? Is that correct?

yes, you can download from google photos to a external drive. copied this from google

If you want to download all your media from Google's servers in eone fell swoop, then you can do so with Google Takeout. Log in to your Google account and head over to the Google Takeout page. Select “Google Photos” and select the albums you'd like to download.
