Can I transfer to and from an XP computer to and from a Win 7 machine. I need to move photos to the XP machine to use my full featured Photo Shop?

I had no trouble moving all of my files and folders from an XP platform to a 7 platform about one month ago. The cable and software worked as described. Remember that the programs themselves do not transfer. That requires re-installation.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! This will work for an XP to Windows 7 transfer. It will not move programs like Photoshop itself, but it will move pictures just fine.

Its advertised that way but I could not make a transfer from winxp to win8 work.

I moved my pictures from XP to windows 8 with ease. Very user friendly device and great support if needed. Should be fine!

I have used it on XP, Win 7 and Win 8. Shouldnt be a problem for you in any version as it just plugs in and acts like a USB thumb drive. By the way. I love mine and it travels nice in my camera bag for backing up our trip photos.

Yes, just make sure to back up everything that you have currently and order the full version of windows 7. I upgraded from XP to Windows 7 by just putting the disk in my disk drive and replacing the OS completely. Hope this helps :)

I have a Dell XPS 420 (older than your computer), Windows 7, and I use Paint Shop Pro and Digital Photo Pro for my photography. I regularly have a ton of huge 12+meg files open at the same time this card on a regular basis. No problems here...

You might, however I would recommend installing Windows 7 or 8 and running XP and your old software on a virtual machine. I have done this before on OS X and Windows 7 hosts, and hardware locked (USB dongle) software.

Yes you can. Works with XP, Vista and Windows 7 only for anyone wanting to know.

It depends what you mean by all files? Normally photo's documents etc should be on an exteranl drive so all you need to do is reload your programs and then connect the drive with your files. If you have them on your pc's hard drive just copy them to the zip and then move them back to your new pc or upgraded pc.

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?

Sorry Randy, only used it across XP to Win7. It should work as its a data transfer tool. Good Luck!

I bought this for my grandson. He's using it on Windows 7 and doing some nice animations. I don't know about XP.

I moved my files from windows xp to windows 7 without a problem. I don't think it matters what chip you have just OS.

Even though Windows no longer supports XP, you may still have protection, depending on the anti-virus you will utilize. Most of us have bitten the bullet and upgraded to windows 7 which works well on the T-500s. Hope this helps!

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.

No, machine I received came with windows XP operating system. If you are looking for the machine with windows 7, you might want to check other machines.

I used it on Windows 7 but it might be usable on windows XP. On a side not, I would not use XP and upgrade to Windows 7 soon because Microsoft will soon end updates for XP, meaning your computer will soon be prone to viruses if you do not upgrade. Happy New year.

Thanks for all the answers. Actually, I googled this and found out I could just drop and drag files using the Computer screen and that it working great to transfer the photos.Thanks again.
