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.

Sorry, I can't answer that question because I returned it without opening the box. However, if I remember correctly, it came with everything that one would need to use it. Also, I need to figure out how to correct my review. I said this does not work with XP, and I meant to say Vista. The information on the box just skipped over Vista.

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...

Not sure if it will run on XP. If you use MS Outlook or Outlook Express to manage your email, OFFICE 2013 does not handle "Pop" email accounts. I installed "Thunderbird" as an email client on Windows 8. I also found the Word 2013 moved a lot of features around but did not find any useful (to me) improvements in Word 2013 over 2010 and if you are replacing Word 2003, all your drop-down menus are gone.

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

Can a Belkin transfer cable for transferring from Windows XP to Windows Vista be used to transfer from the Windows Vista computer to a Windows 7 laptop?

It came with windows 7. I emailed the company and told them the situation and they sent an XP hard drive free of charge and didn't want the Windows 7 back. They sent it next day delivery. They were very prompt and helpful.

I can not offer advice on Windows 7. If you actually get the cloning software with the package, it should not be too much of a problem. A CD was included with the drive I received that said cloning software included. All it contained was instructions on how to use the software. I used XXClone to clone my existing OS and files. My OS was a streamline XP PRO. I did have to re-register with Microsoft, but XXClone worked great.

Sort of. Windows 7 Upgrades are designed for Windows Vista, keeping your files and programs in place. If you have XP, you will not be able to perform that same type of upgrade directly. Instead, you can do what is called a "Clean Install" which will move your files to a Windows.old folder, but you will need to install all of your programs again. I'd also like to point out that you cannot use this Anytime Upgrade to go from XP to Win7. This product is strictly to upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium; if you do not currently have Windows 7 Starter installed, then this product will be of no use. Try searching for "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade" as that includes the DVDs so you can do the Clean Install.

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.

No. You should re-install your programs by downloading .exe installers or using CD installers. This cable is meant to transfer documents, not applications. Also, be careful. It would not let me browse and select files to transfer. It located the MY DOCUMENTS directory and started to transfer everything there. I ended up cancelling it, then transferring selected files onto a thumb drive or an external hard drive, then plugging those into the new computer to transfer. Yes, it will transfer from W.7 to W.7. The necessary software is already in the OS, you do not need to install the software that comes with the cable. You just search programs and files, type Windows Easy Transfer, it finds the software. Do this on both computers and then it prompts you to connect the cable. There is an excellent instruction booklet with the cable that spells out all the steps.

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.

You can but the only thing that will be preserved would be your personal files such as documents, music, pictures, and videos. You will have to reinstall all of your programs such as Microsoft Office, Adobe photoshop, etc. So you can upgrade to Windows 8 from XP but the only thing you can keep will be personal files.

Actually you cannot use it as this will only transfer from Windows (Any Windows) to Windows 7 sadly.

Even tho My Mail List was designed for Windows 98 and Windows xp, it works great on Windows 7. I was very happy about this because I had used it on our old xp for years.

Sorry Randy, only used it across XP to Win7. It should work as its a data transfer tool. Good Luck!
