    I want to reformat and install WIndows Ultimate on my newly bought Toshiba laptop. But I don't know how to save all the browsers and software programs and movies that I downloaded.

    You can save your bookmarks using an extension called xMarks on chrome or firefox. You'd have to install all your software programs once you reformat and movies can be saved onto an external hard drive.

    The problem with the movies though is that my external hard drive is set up to be Mac only. It was for Windows originally but I had the Genius at Genius Bar change it for Mac.

    Should I buy an external hard drive for Windows too?
