or:Firs you are going to need to have an OS (operating system) on your new laptop. I strongly suggest purchasing a copy of Windows 10 (Home Premium should be fine for you). Otherwise most of your programs won't work, as they were designed for Windows. However, if you have no money Ubuntu is a free operating system that feels (note, feels, not is) like Windows and works pretty good. In order to restore the files on the backup drive, just plug it into computer when you have an OS on their (again, preferably windows for compatibility reasons) and simply copy and paste the entire contents of the backup drive onto your primary hard drive.
