Seagate FreeAgent Go 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST905003FGA2E1-RK (Silver) I used this to back up my files from XP2000 and use these same files on my Laptop with Windows 7. I am not sure of copying everything directly to windows 7 for I find many programs are incompatible. Microsoft gives you the option of updating files. Files from Outlook and Outlook express are saved on a special place in your computer. Ask an expert. I checked with a Staples expert and he was able to give me all the answers I needed.

I have a windows easy transfer cable. They sell one that works with XP SP3 to any version of Vista or Windows 7. They also sell one that transfers files from any version of Vista to Windows 7.

I wouldn't count on getting "expert" advice for this from a "Staples expert". You'll need to install an email client in Windows 7 since it does not come with one, unlike previous versions of Windows which came with Outlook Express or, in the case of Windows Vista, Windows Mail. For Windows 7, I suggest downloading and installing Windows Live Mail. Then, follow the procedure at http://www.pcdon.com/080113OutlookExpress-WindowsLiveMail.html to import your OE messages into Windows Live Mail.

Not sure how to answer that, exactly. Word and Excel work fine with my new Dell desktop windows 7. Except for Outlook, which is horrible piece of garbage I removed and installed from a copy of Office 2007.

Yes. My son's desktop is Windows 7 and his new laptop is Windows 7 as well. He had no problem transferring data except he had to take sure neither system went into hibernation because on the first try it did and he had to start the transfer over.

I see no reason for it not to work with xp. Plug into an unused usb port, and use the software that Seagate provides. However, it really is time to ditch xp. It was a fine OS for many years, but without MS support it is pretty much obsolete.

Sure! It's great. Just remember to disconnect with the Safely Remove Hardware feature for XP and prior O/S's. If you have a lot to transfer, you need to make sure your Host PC doesn't time out. You can set to "never" in the Control Panel. I hope that helps.

Used to transfer files from 32 bit XP to 32 bit Win 7 Pro yesterday and it worked perfectly well.

Actually Yes. First install Windows Easy Transfer for XP and export all your settings to and external drive or network share. After Windows 7 installation run Easy Transfer (already in Win7) and restore your settings. This will transfer all your internet settings, favorites, docs, music, pics, etc., but not any of your old programs. Be sure to have copies of programs that you want to re-install after the of Windows 7.

I used this cable to transfer Windows xp to windows 7. It comes with all the instructions to guide you through the transfer and it is onscreen as well. It was very easy and self explanatory.

Vista is installed on my desktop and XP is installed on my netbook. Would external or portable be better for transferring files from one system to another the way I presently can with a flash drive?

I just got Win 7 yesterday and it is a 64 bit program; XP is 32 bit---- You cannot use the Outlook integration feature with Win 7, you have to use the CardScan standalone program on the disk. The install disk that comes with the product has two installs on it. I initially used the Outlook add-in install which I prefer and loved; I had to install the standalone version of their software that is unable to communicate/synchronize with Outlook. So now I use it to scan the business card, then I use SnagIt to copy and save as a png file that I can then insert into my Outlook database.

Yes, I used it with windows 7. I still have it, I did not get the quality of transfer I wanted so I don't use it,.

Yes you can transfer from XP computer to Windows 7 computer. Main reason I bought this product. Go to www.diamondmm.com to get further info on this product. The printed instructions that came with this product was very small and hard for me with my bad eye sight even with my reading glasses. I will say there instructions was confusing to me and took a good time before I finally understood what I had to do transfer from computer to computer.

Open windows start, then you go to Accessories, then you go to Windows Tools. At the bottom of that menu you'll find "easy transfer, open and transfer your files...
