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.

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.

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.

MS Easy Transfer will move all data and docs from one computer to the other and can move items from XP to Win 7. It is pre-installed on Win 7 and a free download for XP. If all you want is to move the Quickbooks files, backup to a thumb drive (or any portable drive) on the old machine and then do a restore from that thumb drive on the new one.

My system came with Windows XP, but I had it upgraded to Windows 7 which will also require Microsoft Outlook. Hope this helps, I purchased it in 2012, don't remember some things, but have not had any problems with the system.

Windows 7 is installed in the laptop. However, you will need to buy Outlook for Word, Xcel, and email. Overall a nice laptop.

yes it will, you just have to make sure that the computer that is running xp has the easy transfer on it, and then everything will work like it should without a problem. hope this helps

Can a Belkin transfer cable for transferring from Windows XP to Windows Vista be used to transfer from the Windows Vista computer to a Windows 7 laptop?

I can not offer advice on Windows 7. If you actually get the cloning software with the package, it should not be too much of a problem. A CD was included with the drive I received that said cloning software included. All it contained was instructions on how to use the software. I used XXClone to clone my existing OS and files. My OS was a streamline XP PRO. I did have to re-register with Microsoft, but XXClone worked great.

I would recommend that you copy all programs to an external drive or CD. Then you can copy them back to you laptop after you have upgraded to Windows 7.

There are many format and NTFS file conversation programs available on the web. If you reformat and specify NTFS, you will lose any existing data. Conversion is safer but I'd backup it all anyhow. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx

This device is for transferring data only from the old system. Applications, programs and operating systems will have to be re-installed on the new system. However, if you are asking whether data from a Windows 7 system can be transferred to a Windows Vista system the answer is yes.

Have used it with Windows XP no problem (since upgraded to Windows 7). Agree with Jaysen Huff.. do a clean install of your XP disks - remember, these hubs have been around since BEFORE Windows XP.

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.

If the actual .exe program is still on the pc you should be able to copy it over. If it was install by disk then you will have to re-install it on the new pc and then use the cable to copy the old data files over to the new pc in the programs directory.
