do you need a different transfer cable to use the Elements 1.5 tb external hard drive when upgrading xp to windows 7

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 also have an older XP and newer Win7 that I needed to transfer to and from. I just used it last night. Some said it didn't work for them. I followed the instructions on the package and all went ok. I was concerned because part of the program it said Win7 and another part said Win8, but after plugging in the cable I went through some choices of which to transfer from and which files, etc. It also told me later which files/programs couldn't be transferred. I am happy with it so far.

I used this to transfer from Vista to Windows 7 with no problems. You need to install the program software on windows 7 PC before using the Easy Transfer Wizard open on both PC's along with the cable and files will transfer over into place. Now my question is do I have to buy another cable especially for Windows 7 to Windows 8 or will this cable do both?

Hey Matthew! This transfer cable is compatible only for transferring files from Windows XP to Vista operating systems.

I have the 1 Tb drive and went between xp home and win 7 pro 64 bit on 2 machines, never had any issues. Does win xp still recognize the drive?

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.

Yes, you need a transfer cable. Put one of the drives on the cable and plug into USB. The Xbox should recognize it and offer to transfer the data for you. Once complete, make sure the new drive is installed in the HDD slot of the Xbox.

Works fine but XP does not support TRIM (look it up) you must use supplied Magician software to keep up speed.Also check out partition alignment. I think these drives are best used as a System drive with traditional disk as Data drive. (Multi Drive System). Make sure you create Recovery Disks for re-installation. Samsung transfer softwarewill not transfer Recovery Partition. Also buy drive kit (not bare drive) with transfer cable and mounting hardware.Hope this helps.

This is a question for Microsoft or Olympus. Just for an FYI, I had a bear of a time trying to the files downs to Win XP so I imagine Win 7 is going to be even more difficult. If you have the choice, opt for a recorder that does direct USB connection with no added software. This one requires very buggy software to connect via USB. Also, the file types this one uses are very difficult to convert to windows files. so........

You should be able to connect this drive and then redirect your download to this drive. You should be able to do this through the W7 download page or you could redirect your default download location through your browser. The bigger question to you will be whether you have enough room on your primary drive to do the upgrade. Another option would be to move most of your personal files from your original drive to this external drive freeing up space on your primary drive to download and upgrade Windows. Depends on what you want. Personally, I would at least use the external drive as a backup/copy for your personal files in case your upgrade goes badly.

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.

If I have only 1 monitor and wish to use the cable to transfer from Windows xp on my old computer to Windows 7 on the new computer, can I use my netbook for the second monitor?

Unfortunately, no it doesn't. It's just a barebone hard drive. You will have to do a new install of windows or get a cloning/migration software kit. Or your other option is to buy a Solid State Drive kit that comes with the cloning/migration software.

Yes, it can transfer between any versions of Windows from XP through 8.1 (XP, Vista, 7, 8, & 8.1).

If you atching this drive to you laptop externally to transfer data you will need to get a cable. If you replacing existing drive and old drive has a tray and its same width you should be fine. If this is for desktop then you will need spacers unless desktop has a 2.5 inch slot. Hope this helps
