    I'm not sure if you're asking how to do this from a physical perspective (such as putting the old HD in a USB enclosure and connecting to your new laptop via USB cable) or whether you've overcome that challenge. I'll assume you have, here's a program from Microsoft called Sync Toy that's free and designed to move files.

    Casper, Acronis....I don't know any freewares but their demos should do the job as well.
