I want to transfer all my data from my old Dell XP desktop to a new one. Will this work?

Yes, if you have more files than the total space on the flash drive, though, you will need to do multiple separate transfers.

I am not 100% familiar with the dell XPS13 model, but as long as it uses an mSATA type drive it should work. Here is a youtube video that may be of help with the swap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usk560qAboA

IF I had to this, I would transfer the info from the external drive to the old computer and then use Laplink to move the data to the new computer. You can drag & drop files from the drive with explorer. However you cannot transfer programs. Good luck

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.

Yes it will be fine if it is replacing the main hard drive. I am seeing from another answer that Dell laptops might have issues if it is going to to be a secondary drive in certain models. It is just the hard drive in the package and nothing else to transfer or clone the hard drive you have now.

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

Yes, if they are networked together you can file share, or with the proper software, you can transfer the entire image of the source disk to a new computer.

save to an external memory and then transfer to the new computer. it is that simple.

I think so, unless you use your mouse, keyboard, and monitor to set up the old computer and leave it running, then switch the to the new one and set it up. Once you get the old computer set up everything else is done on the new one. I haven't tried this, but it should work.

I have a windows easy transfer cable. They sell one that works with XP SP3 to any version of Vista or Windows 7. They also sell one that transfers files from any version of Vista to Windows 7.

Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

Yeah shouldn't be an issue, as long as it's not a program file. Any basic file will transfer from Tiger to XP without a problem.

I'm unsure. You may need to download some software (info comes with it) before it will start working. I had to download a zip file to my desktop and then use a flash drive to transfer the software to my Dell Vostro 1500.

BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE UPGRADING. To make sure your hardware is compatible with windows XP, you should check the windows 8 compatibility program NOT the 8.1 one. Google Download Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant . Some times the hardware may be compatible but the Upgrade may not work right, while reinstalling as new install with the upgrade disc would work on same computer.

Hi! I hope so because the computer I have now let me down and I will need it for the new one... But I am sure you can, if not, you could make a copy from your computer to "download" it to your new one. I do not know how but I know you can do it.

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.
