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.

I have not used my cable, but information on the Easy Transfer Cable for Windows 7 package clearly states that "The Belkin Easy Transfer Cable is the quickest way to migrate files, music, photos, user accounts - and more - from your Windows XP or Windows Vista PC to your new Windows 7 PC".

Windows 7 is fine, tested and proven. I don't think XP will be a problem since it runs in 7.

Yes. I transferred my XP files to a Dell computer with windows 7. Both computers are 32-bit.

I have the home version of Windows 7 on my laptop. I've been successful syncing my Tungsten E2 on it. My 3rd party program Documents To Go, also works, but MS Outlook 2010 doesn't sync the e-mail messages. (That isn't because of Windows 7.)

Yes, it's specifically designed to transfer Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

He means a backup of old messages. Some of the posts here make me think that it does not necessarily import messages from an old program. I'd try googling "import into outlook 2013" to see problems and possible solutions.

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.

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 think that it would. I bought it to transfer files from Vista computer to an XP computer. Search the item on Amazon and it should tell which operating systems it supports. Note - it will only transfer files (pictures, created documents, etc). It will not transfer programs . They will have to be reloaded on the other computer, in your case, Windows 7 computer.

No you cannot transfer installed programs, only files. And you may want to set up a transfer folder with only the files you want and know to be safe, otherwise all files will be transferred, and if your old pc has a virus or any sort of corrupted files they will be transferred to your new pc. But the transfer cable is awesome I was extremely happy with it.

From Vista (32 bit) you should be able to upgrade and everything will transfer over. Your system should meet all the minimum requirements for Win 7 if it was running Vista, check this page http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/system-requirements to make sure. If you buy this and find it won't upgrade, you won't totally lose the value of buying Windows 7 as you can also do a 'clean' install that would require you to reinstall Office and others.However, you should backup your important files before you upgrade, just to be safe.

It works with windows 7. I've never tried it with XP and don't use XP any more.

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.

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.
