I'd get a My Passport or similar USB storage device and once you've done the trqnsfer keep using it for future backups of your photos, as you risk losing them for good if anything happens to the laptop.Retired at age 56 after having "light bulb moment" due to reading MSE and its forums. Have been converted to the "budget to zero" concept and use YNAB for all monthly budgeting and long term goals.0

One more option to consider is to download the Google Photos sync tool available at https://photos.google.com/apps and it will upload all your photos to your Google account.
Once they have uploaded you can log in at https://photos.google.com to prove to yourself they are all there, then you can delete them from your laptop.0 -
Id consider 2 options, use Google Photos as suggested and a portable hard drive.0
