File swapping to new laptops

Help!
I bought 2 laptops for my kids this Christmas. Since they have both been using my PC for 2 years, there are many mp3, word, pps, and excel files on my computer. Is there any way to transfer these files to the respective laptops? My PC will be on the same wireless router as my kids, except that mine will be hardwired into the router.
Thank you, and retrospective Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all...

Yeh, they are all on the same network so you can share files. Just enable sharing on the respective computers.

And double check that wireless clients have access to wired file sharing on the Router level. Some models provide a mechanism to block Windows file-sharing broadcasts from wired to wireless.
