Best approach would be to have someone who is not on TOTV and is knowledgeable about computers perform the transfer for you. Ask if they know Binary and Hexadecimal. Test them by asking the value of 1011 and F0 + 0F. (1011 = 123 F0 + 0F = FF = 255)

They will probably mess it up as well, but such is life with Computers that most of us don't really know how to use.
Floppy disk? I hope the new computer doesn't have a floppy disc drive because it won't be a new laptop. Most new laptops don't come with any built-in data drives. I don't know binary or hexadecimal, but I do know how to copy files from a desktop to a laptop.
