Your husband deserves a BIG THANK YOU for that gift !! My dh got surprised me with one in September. I was shocked! He wants me ORGANIZED!
What I did, was use the CD and load PP on the laptop. Then I got a 1.0 GB USB Flash Drive. On my old computer, I opened up PP then closed it again, and saved to the Flash Drive (other drive). Then, opened up PP on the laptop, and transferred the info from the flash drive to the laptop. If this doesn't make sense, let me know. I'll figure out a different way to say it

Back up your old PP to a flash drive or a CD using the "Other Drive" option. Then, open the PP on the new laptop and go to Utilities, Restore From Backup....find your CD drive (or flash drive) and select that!
Make sure you also "Update" after you are done.
If all else fails, call tech support!
Good luck!
