I am getting a new computer with Windows 8.1 and I want to transfer files from my old computer which is Windows Vista Home Premium. Will this work?

Yeah but your better off getting a larger hard drive because of the amount of files you're trying to transfer. This USB is only 16-32 gb of memory and I'm pretty sure you're gonna want to move a lot more files than that.

it should, but you may have to copy what fits on it & know where to paste them on the 8.1, then delete & go back & paste again. You have to know where to paste. You can google search this information if you don't know.

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.

I am not 100% sure it can but it sure looks like it should. I did Vista to Win8 so it just is a transfer cable that can handle the data flow. There is software that makes it work. Very basic. No reason to think it won't go Win7-7 or Win8-8.

Hi Stuart. I used one of Laplink's 'PCMover' programs to upgrade from Vista to Win7; it worked really well and was simple to use.There is a PDF guide which you can download and print out; this takes you step by step through the upgrade process. Laplink's support team headed by Ray Pettit is excellent; you can chat online for help if needed. This link will advise you which program is most suitable : http://www.laplink.com/index.php/individuals/pcmover-for-windows-8/feature-overview Regards Bob.

It was easy for me. What I did was save all of my files and data on my old laptop to a flash ("thumb") drive and then when I inserted it into the Gateway, it was easy to transfer onto the new laptop. Programs may need to be re-downloaded on to the new laptop though, depending on how your old laptop saved them.

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

I am NOT an expert, but it made old drives I took out of my old laptops behave like external drives. Your new computer will probably ignore all your VISTA files on the old drive. It is mainly a way to access data files on your old drive.

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.

I am almost positive that you can. I have not fully downloaded to Windows 8.1.

I have never used this to transfer files from a windows ME computer but it will transfer files from windows 2000. what I would do is to use a usb flash drive to transfer the files. If the computer does not see the flash drive download a driver for it.

I don't know what the solution is. I transferred files from a Vista computer to a Windows 8 computer. I had to repeat the transfer several times, but it did transfer files.

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