Thebiga Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I posted a thread last week about how to download things such as security software I have onto my new netbook. Anyway I had a few helpful answers and before I could do anything with them the thread has gone! No idea where but it isn't where I can see it anymore, So does anyone know how to download things onto my netbook as it has no disc drive so cannopt do it direct.Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Use either;An external CD/DVD drive orAn external hard drive (needs the data/software saved to it first of course)A USB memory stick (needs the data/software saved to it first of course).

Clair Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Thebiga,Here is a quick recap of what was suggested:[quote user="Cooperlola"]You have options. Download direct from the 'net (something like AVG free) , buy and external hard drive or download from your PC via an easy transfer cable. I'm sure there are other ways which the clever lot on here know. Personally, I think an external DVD writer at around £40 is a good investment as then you can watch DVDs on your netbook if you wish. [/quote][quote user="f1steveuk "]You would get most of the required software on to a 2 gb flash drive (memory stick) they really quite cheap in France. Copy the set files for whatever programme from your old/other computer, or a friends, and then move them on to the note book.[/quote][quote user="tj"]Hidownload the software again from here... http://download.cnet.com/Norton-360/3000-8022_4-10651162.html, enter your key number, and away you go![/quote][quote user="ANOther"]If your concern is that you might get infected online in the time it takes you to download and install an antivirus programme then I think you can safely forget such worries [;-)][/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
