I have a year old HP Laptop with Vista Ultimate which needs to be sent to HP
for repair. I want to copy all my files and settings to a new HP Laptop with
Vista Ultimate in the interim so I can keep working. Does Easy Transfer copy
them to the new computer and leave them in the old, or should I interpret the
word Transfer literally, i.e. it puts everything in the new computer and
deletes it from the old one?

Is Easy Transfer what I should be using for this purpose, since I want to
transfer all the files back to my old laptop when it's repaired?
