What is the easiest way to connect my ubuntu laptop to a win7 laptop to pull music and pics off the win7 laptop? I installed Ubuntu on my new computer as the primary os and I want to pull my music, pics and some docs off my old one in the easiest way possible.

You can connect both computers in hotspot or a command LAN.

Then, you need to share folder with your files from windows computer.

Then, from Ubuntu

  1. Open File Manager (nautilus) i.e Open your home folder.

  2. From Menu > Go > Network in Nautilus, or from left sidepane, click on Browse Network.

    Browse Network

  3. You can find your Windows share in a folder named Windows Network.enter image description here

  4. Open your shared folder, enter windows username and password if asked.

  5. Now, you can copy your files as you wish.
