Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML

Yikes. Ask for it back so you can get all the old data from it! I'm sure any reasonable person would oblige

She probably had sold it to buy you this one.

It can be very dangerous to pass on a computer. If you pass on a computer, wipe the HDD with 1's and 0's numerous times. Yes, pressing delete on your computer doesn't actually delete files, it makes them some what unavailable waiting to be overwritten.

That sucks, I am glad that it has never happened to me, I got a lot I would never want to lose. Some parents don't understand that you can't just magically transfer data without having the old computer around.

Yes you can. It's called the cloud or a remote server.

And that's really fucking helpful when you don't back it up to the cloud because you haven't planned on your mother getting rid of your computer.

Some of us don't want 5Tb of data sitting in the cloud

#41, OP needs the original computer to put it on a cloud because it's not currently in a cloud.

My parents took my old laptop to an electronics recycling day before I could transfer everything onto my new one. Granted, I had two years and was just lazy, but I feel your pain, OP. I was devastated. I've been able to recover my music from my old mp3 player, but the photos and documents are long gone. Major hugs from me, OP.

If she gave it away, it's probably to someone you know. Just ask for it back to (at the Very least) back up your files
