Hi techyv,

Is it ok if I copy software? I want to copy software from my friends laptop. Is it just fine if I borrow his software and install it to my computer? Thanks.

It is perfectly in order to copy a software program from one computer system to another and can be done by using a flash drive, a memory stick or a blank CD-R. Use the following process to transfer programs to your laptop;

  • The first thing is to locate where the software is installed (i.e. my computer - local disk (C) - program files)
  • Then select the program you want to copy.
  • Copy the file to the desktop
  • Now insert your flash drive/memory stick/CD-R, a dialogue box will Select "Open Folder to View Files."
  • Copy the program file into it by just dragging and dropping the file into it, DO NOT copy as a shortcut.
  • For the CD-R, when it does, you are ready to copy the file. Click "Burn to a CD" found on the left-hand menu.
  • Name the program file when the dialogue box appears and Click "Next" and your program will copy to the CD-R.
  • Now you can transfer the file to your computer by clicking the Application file and following the installation process.
