Seagate FreeAgent Go 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST905003FGA2E1-RK (Silver) I used this to back up my files from XP2000 and use these same files on my Laptop with Windows 7. I am not sure of copying everything directly to windows 7 for I find many programs are incompatible. Microsoft gives you the option of updating files. Files from Outlook and Outlook express are saved on a special place in your computer. Ask an expert. I checked with a Staples expert and he was able to give me all the answers I needed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yes you can transfer from XP computer to Windows 7 computer. Main reason I bought this product. Go to www.diamondmm.com to get further info on this product. The printed instructions that came with this product was very small and hard for me with my bad eye sight even with my reading glasses. I will say there instructions was confusing to me and took a good time before I finally understood what I had to do transfer from computer to computer.

I need to know if any version of Windows 7 runs with Outlook Express. Thanks.

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.

I'm sorry to report most of them are rebuilt therefore instead of XP Pro, they have Windows 7. I can highly recommend a word processor that is on the same standard of Word and can export import (almost seamlessly from word). They are "Libre Office and Apache Open Office". Libre Office loads quicker and has quicker response time w/o the hang up that plagues office 2007. the best qualification is they're free and no nagware. My personal choice is Private Firewall, take out windows defender from start up and go with AVAST or AVG. they are on par with paid version. I would buy a rebuilt or reconditioned as the original production run is plague with problems that a rebuilt system has rectified. BY A COOLING PAD FOR IT. Part of the problem is overheat. It is older, very reliable as a reconditioned/rebuilt, rugged, fast. It is duel core. Again Cooling pad and the 2 word processors I mentioned are free. they are so good you can desk top publish with them. The adequate word processing is usually word pad, Jarte, Q Jot, etc. Buy it if it's under 200.00 Go with 4 stars or better.

Open windows start, then you go to Accessories, then you go to Windows Tools. At the bottom of that menu you'll find "easy transfer, open and transfer your files...

I moved my files from windows xp to windows 7 without a problem. I don't think it matters what chip you have just OS.

Vista is installed on my desktop and XP is installed on my netbook. Would external or portable be better for transferring files from one system to another the way I presently can with a flash drive?

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.

Yu can transfer any pes file through the USB cable. Almost all OSes work. Including Xp. It will just show up as an extra drive when linked

Files can be transferred by simply copying and burning to a cd and simply move to the new computer. Microsoft also offers a programs and settings wizard for upgrading operating systems but its not designed to transfer data from and old to a new computer. I would highly suggest just saving your important files to a cd or DVD and copy them to your new computer. As far as Microsoft Word or programs you will need to use the software installer you purchased to install on the new computer.
