If you find a 16G or 32G on sale that would be even better - prices have come down so much on those - about 20-24.00 for those sizes on sale.on Amazon anyway

P.S.
I when I get the new computer, I simply copy the My Documents Folder from the Flash drive, and I paste it into the My Documents Folder on the hard drive right?

Will I be prompted with : 'Do you want to replace the My Documents folder?"

or will it just copy the contents into the My Documents folder on the new PC?
I'm not exactly sure what is will say or do -I can't remember when I did my change over last winter.. Oh I ended up backing up everything - but then I used a hard drive clone onto a new hard drive - so my flash back up is only for "just in case I need it" - I didn't have to use it yet for anything. But it should be fairly straight forward - often you can just add something to the folder file name so it won't think it is a duplicate - I just add 11 or aa.
there should be videos of - how to copy files on to a new pc - that will show the steps


hope that helps
