You don't say what you already have available, so you're only going to
get general suggestions. Please provide complete details in the future
so people don't have to dig for information.

Assuming they are both have network adapters, just set up a home
network, then share the disk drives on both computers and copy the
files from one to the other.

If you already own a router, just connect them both to that and they
should see each other. If you don't, you can get what's known as a
crossover cable and connect them directly.

If both computers have wireless adapters, you might be able to set up a
temporary ad-hoc network:

Any USB stick would permit it.

I agree, probably the easiest way

OTOH: If there is more data than would fit on a USB stick

the machines could be networked either with the use of a router

or without a router, a crossover cable is all that's needed

That's what I said three days ago.

This was obviously another hit-and-run post, so we'll probably never
see the schmuck again.
