Can you transfer both,installed programs and files from xp to win 7.

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.

You can transfer everything and then you can choose what you want to install.

No, it is simply a file transfer cable. You can move installation programs like any other file. Already installed program cannot be transferred from one operating system to another.You can transfer installed programs from one hard drive to another by cloning 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

The cable allows you to transfer "files" from one computer to another. I was able to transfer files from Windows XP to Windows 7.

No, windows 8.1 is made so that all of your files will transfer over into your new os(win 8). Everything you have will be there when you're done

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

No. Programs need to be installed in the appropriate folders by an installation program on the computer you intend to use them on. The files will all be on the cloned drive, but Windows (if that's the operating system you have), can't find them unless it put them in the proper locations.

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?

No, but you can use windows easy transfer application to backup and restore your data from old hard drive to new one.Hope that answers your question.

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!

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

Yes, just make sure to back up everything that you have currently and order the full version of windows 7. I upgraded from XP to Windows 7 by just putting the disk in my disk drive and replacing the OS completely. Hope this helps :)

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.

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

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.
