No, that Easy transfer cable will only work for Vista. You need to have another cable that is designed for Windows 8.

Rob~ That is exactly the situation I had. I wanted to transfer files from my 2010 XP computer to my 2013 Win7 computer. It worked flawlessly.

to transfer data between 2 computers, laptops... you MUST use a usb with a bridge. Its called a usb networking cable. If you use a double ended (male only) usb transfer cable, you will FRY your usb ports and possibly the computers as well. An example of the networking cable you need to transfer looks like this: Belkin Easy Transfer Cable for Windows 8 /Windows 7/XP/Vista. Belkin Easy Transfer Cable for Windows 8 /Windows 7/XP/Vista (F4U060)

It does not matter what type of processors the computer have. This transfer cable works with the hard drives of all my different versions of the windows operating systems.

Hi, I'm working with this cable on a windows 7 64 bit operation system without any problem. So I think it will work!

It will work if you have the adapter's version 3, 4 or 5. You can download the Windows 7 driver from here: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=4896

I had problems with it on both win 7 and 8. Tur ns out the firmware in it is not that great. If you use a newer hdd it should work but older hdd do not work. The one I had a probkem with was a toshiba 80 gig.

Yes it will. I used it to transfer info from three office computers running XPS Pro 32 bit sp 3 to three brand new dell optiplex computers with windows 7 pro 64 bit. You will need a second monitor, however, because you will be following instructions for each computer separately on the screen. Very easy transfer process. Make a backup on a flash drive first for safety. I did but did not need it as everything transferred properly. Software is in the cable device and will install on xp computer automatically. Software is already embedded in Windows 7 so no installation of software required there.

I used on Win7. Not sure about Win8. About 6 ft long, very soft cable. Works well.

I have windows 7 and it works great! I believe it will work with any device that has the port to fit the cable.

Sorry for the late answer. Yes it should work fine. My setup is an E6400 running Win7-32 connected to a dual docking station with 4TB and 3TB (Seagate and WD) drives running 24/7. Additionally I use a 500GB laptop drive to transfer data via the adapter. For the price there is no better solution.Hope this helps.

Works great with Vista and Windows 7. I'd check Belkin's website for a driver if it's not automatically working with XP.

I don't know - I used it with great success to transfer XP to W7. Try calling Belkin...

I'd suspect not. When I upgraded from an XP computer to a Win8 computer, I just plugged the same USB cable into the new computer and it was business as usual. Of course, this was a completely "data" drive, with no active programs on it. Or am I missing something in the question?

I have been using mine with a Dell laptop and windows 7. No problems to date.

I believe that all of the Belkin USB transfer cables function in the same way, although the appearance of the device in the middle of the cable varies. I have used both a "Windows Vista" cable and a "Windows 7" cable to transfer between XP and 7, between 7 and 7, and between XP and XP, with no problems. The behavior of those two cables has been identical. The differences are in the software. Windows Easy Transfer (WET) doesn't come with XP, so WET has to be installed for XP. The software that came with the Belkin Vista cable got some negative reviews. I don't use the Belkin software; I use different software that calls WET, and have had no problems. If you use different software to control the transfer, then you can choose between the Belkin cables on the basis of price. (I described use of one type of different software, suitable for power users, in my April 6, 2011 review of the Belkin "Vista" cable.)
