Sorry. Everyone's been having a bit of fun with your question so far. As
you can see, we can't be certain from the information that you provided as
to what exactly you have done so far.
There are several different types of "cord." Depending on which kind you
used, you may be on your way to an ad hoc network or creating a two PC
workgroup. Or you've attached a cable designed for a specific application
such as a "Laplink."
While any of those methods will work for transferring files, they may be
more work than is necessary. Decide what personal files you want to
transfer. If practical, consider copying them to CD, an external hard drive
or a USB memory stick. Then, attaching or inserting that media to the new
computer, copy the data to the new computer's hard drive.
NOTE: While there are still such things as stand alone applications that
can be copied from one computer to the other, these are no longer very
common. Most software cannot be transferred by copying - instead it must be
installed on the new computer. Once the software is installed, it can be
used with any of its data files that you've copied over manually.
