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.

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

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, I have used with XP and Win7. These things work great and are so cheap! We ordered a bunch just to have at the office. The driver calls it a "USB-SERIAL CH340" under WinXP. The driver file can be found online. The one I have had success with is actually called "CH341SER.xxx" but works great. Just search the web. Good Luck!

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.

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.

Yes it says so on the box. In real small fine print. I have windows 7 but the box says Xp is good to go.

you have to use the standalone version. You cannot scan directly to Outlook, from within outlook as you could with Windows XP 32 bit version. The cd that comes with the scanner has both versions on it.

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.

Windows 7 is installed in the laptop. However, you will need to buy Outlook for Word, Xcel, and email. Overall a nice laptop.

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?

My system came with Windows XP, but I had it upgraded to Windows 7 which will also require Microsoft Outlook. Hope this helps, I purchased it in 2012, don't remember some things, but have not had any problems with the system.

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

I used this cable to transfer Windows xp to windows 7. It comes with all the instructions to guide you through the transfer and it is onscreen as well. It was very easy and self explanatory.

From Vista (32 bit) you should be able to upgrade and everything will transfer over. Your system should meet all the minimum requirements for Win 7 if it was running Vista, check this page http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/system-requirements to make sure. If you buy this and find it won't upgrade, you won't totally lose the value of buying Windows 7 as you can also do a 'clean' install that would require you to reinstall Office and others.However, you should backup your important files before you upgrade, just to be safe.

Yes, I used it with windows 7. I still have it, I did not get the quality of transfer I wanted so I don't use it,.

Rob~ That is exactly the situation I had. I wanted to transfer files from my 2010 XP computer to my 2013 Win7 computer. It worked flawlessly.
