Just got myself a new Dell Inspiron Notebook and trying to setup N1MM 
and Logger32 -

1 - I have downloaded base version plus latest update of N1MM. What 
files do I transfer to get the same setup as on my main computer?

2 - Likewise with Logger32. I have downloaded the latest version and 
unzipped the backup log. I can see all my QSOs so that is OK but I can't 
seem to get the User files up and running even though I have unzipped 
the backup into the main directory. I notice some Logger32 files number 
1 to 10 which aren't on my main machine.

3 - What is the best way to go with USB ports? The Notebook has 4 and I 
am sure I will need more than that as I will need an external mouse and 
keyboard for contesting and preferably any use as I don't like Notebook 
KB / mouse. I also need 9 pin Serial port conversion. Maximum 
connections required looks like this :

FT1KMP                     Serial
K2 (temporarily)           Serial
K3  (when it arrives)     USB as I have ordered the Universal Serial Bus 
adapter
G1000 Controller         Serial
mHam Keyer                 USB
Mouse                           USB
Keyboard                      USB
Spare                             USB

(I much preferred building the K2 or working with antennas, much easier 
to understand!!!)
