Will it save my XP programs and existing files?

Yes, provided that you are able to use the upgrade mode. even in the upgrade mode you may at time loose some data, or programs. So please save all your data prior to upgrade, it's a safe way. A word of caution, if your XP software has been corrupted, not allow you to use the upgrade mode and you have to make a clean install you will loose all data etc. Hopefully, you will be successfully upgrading to Vista!

Nope not mine came with xp office. I have had no problems with it, but I'm not a big game fan. The memory capacity is the thing.

I have a 160 gig drive from a crashed laptop. XP argued about it but relented and there is no problem with 7.

You will have to buy a different Operating System now. Windows won't give you the necessary updates for your computer and you won't be able to run any software. Support for XP ended in April 2014

No sure yet. Can you buy your programs on the internet and download? Otherwise you have to buy the $80, external hard drive. Good luck.

Yes. It is a full standalone operating system that will replace xp. Download the newest version at linuxmint dot com and donate to the project if you like it!

sorry,can't answer. The company that was to install a new hard drive in my computer opted to pay part cost on a new computer because my computer was old. I have not used my copy of "xp" and will probably list it on Amazon

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.

No, but if you want to transfer your existing operating system with files and programs intact - a transfer kit is the easiest way to accomplish this. If you are doing a clean install than you do not need the transfer kit, but you will have to reinstall windows- hopefully if this is your intent than you will need a windows installation disk or the manufacturers recovery software

NO. What happens is you put your new XP machine in there and re-run the WET wizard only to see that there is no "Continue an existing transfer" option the wizard. Better stick with File and Settings Transfer or USMT or do it manually.

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.

Mine works fine. But running XP, I don't know what will happen after M.S. stops suport.

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.

Yes Windows XP installed ready to go . We do not provide any virus protection or any additional software. But the OS and device drivers are installed before it leaves our shop.

burn the downloaded program to a cd and save it somewhere in case you ever need to re-install. be sure and put the reg code/serial no with it.

Yes, your hard drive will be erased if your are installing over Windows Xp. Here is a link to Microsoft's answer. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-from-windows-vista-xp-tutorial
