I got a new computer for Christmas from my nephew. I can't figure out how to transfer the pictures I downloaded to my old one; onto the new one. My sister:confused::confused: told me "probably the easiest way is to transfer them to the cloud ". What exactly does that mean? And what the hell is "the cloud"?

You can also use a USB flash drive or Thumb Drive and transfer your pictures that way.

I know what a USB flash drive is but what's a thumb drive?

A Thumb drive is a generic term which refers to a USB drive or a pen drive. On the other hand, the Flash drive is a plug-and-play portable storage device that uses flash memory, aka non-volatile memory to hold data. It has no movable parts. ... You can plug a thumb drive directly into a USB port.
