Should I activate on my old desktop and then let Laplink do it's work, or just update it after I'm done with laplink?

I'm going to be buying a keyboard and mouse today and will also deal with the other peripherals.

Needless to say, with the move and selling stuff on FB and starting to pack, I have my hands full these days and I'm really concerned about not having access to my computer to work as I normally do.

Thank you.
Right clicking on a trackpad is so second nature to me since I’ve been using them so long on both notebooks and desktops I had to check to see how I do it. On mine I usually do Control/tap on the trackpad surface. I checked on the other way suggested, tap with two fingers at the same time and that worked also. I was testing it on a MacBook Air but I suspect it’s the same on a PC. There are only so many ways you can do something like that and I suspect a small number of manufacturers for the actual trackpads and software that the majority of systems work the same in this regard.

Also wanted to add that in general I only use trackpads and prefer them to using a mouse. Even on desktops or when I hook a mouse up to a bigger monitor I use external trackpads.
