Tech Heads: Please Explain How to use an External Hard Drive
30
Hi.
My name is Pat and I have become PC game addicted.
These are huge files. I get at least one per MONTH.
I get nervous when my hard drive is 50% full. (both my PCs are).
While I can store these games on the Game site and download them anytime, this would only be for the life of my membership there (although I own them and can keep them on my PC forever).
I want to download them to a separate hard drive and hook it together with my wide-screen monitor desktop that I use for work.
OK simple enough - but then how do I play them - is this like a 'switch box' like you would use for having two PCs on one printer? (what I am envisioning is 2 PCs on one Monitor)
There used to be a 'Flash Drive' - just a modem like thingy and you access it by a "D: drive" from your main PC - I think that is old 1980s technology though.
This has to be simple but I can't see it.:confused:
Thank you.
(p.s. this is slightly different from in the past where I have asked how to link two monitors to 1 PC).
