I am going to try that, just for interest's sake.
You should get a long USB extention and a drill and then wire up your studio to your upstairs study.
I myself use a very old PC to do transfers. It is within my studio, but I have a long 15' USB extention connecting it. Not sur how long a USB extention you can get away with. My old desktop is running a legal copy of XP, but it has only 198 meg of Ram and USB 1 - you could find one of those in the e-bin at the dump probably - it is somewhat slower than a more modern machine, but is not too turtleish, unles you are backing up whole projects of several gigs - then you just let it whirl away while you attack the honey-do list.
