I know desktops have a little switch next to the power switch on the back of the computer that can change over from 120 to 220. Not so sure about laptops.

If your computer is not ancient ,the power supply has voltage selector.Same for laptop,it does this automatically.

Power difference is the only issue. Laptops adapters normally change automatically with no problem (see label on adapter - it should read "input voltage 100V-250V" Desktop PCs often have a switch on the power block (where the mains cable goes in) that allows you to switch from 110 to 220/240. If yours does then it will be a red slider that you have to move by sliding it accross with a screwdriver or similar. It will be showing the current voltage on it. OBVIOUSLY you should not switch over until you get to italy.

There are plug adapters, but asking someone knowledgeable about computers would be best. The power surges and requirements may be different. Also, will the programs and operating systems be easily compatible with your computers? You will have to connect to the internet with at least one of them, I am guessing.
