I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D laptop and I was wondering if there's a way to backup my files onto a computer with a new harddrive I just bought-

Amazon.com: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX: Electronics

Basically, I just want to have the same files from my latop on my desktop computer with a fresh harddrive.
Ofcourse the new harddrive that I will install onto the desktop wont have an OS, so how would I do it?
I dont have an external HD either.

You can't unless the Desktop has a working operating system.
Sounds like what you want is a external USB 2/3 enclosure you can mount the 1TB drive in then attach it to the laptop USB port for backup.
