Trying to move my itunes?

I just got a new laptop. My old computer doesn't belong to me and I have less than a year before I have to give it back but it has my iTunes on it. So I want to move all my iTunes files and such over to my laptop and remove it from my old computer since I can't keep it. How do I do this? I don't have an external hard drive or a flash drive with enough space to move it all, so I wanted to try and do it with a shared folder. I asked my brother for help, and he found that my iTunes folder is already shared, yet it doesn't show up on my laptop or something like that. I don't really know much about computers so I was confused about what he said and he didn't know what the problem was. Can anyone please help me? The file has a little hand under it which my brother said means it's shared, but I needed some kind of account or something??? The network setup wizard said it was unable to do it or something like that. So basically I'm extremely confused and I need to move my iTunes and pretty soon I won't be able to anymore. So thanks if you can help :) OH and PLEEEEEAAASEE don't say "just transfer your purchases" because I have hundreds of songs from websites and such other than iTunes. So yeah, thanks.

    There is no way anyone can debug your shared folder problem from what you've said.

    You don't have to move all your stuff at one, so just put as much as will fit on your flash drive, copy it over to your new system, erase the flash drive, and repeat until you've moved it all.

    You really ought to invest in an external hard drive so you can have a backup for all your stuff in case your PC gets lost, stolen, or dies.
