Can I switch between computers, one using Windows XP and the other using Windows 7.

I run both XP and Win7, operating system doesn't affect switching. I noticed after switching, the screen would sometimes be distorted (icons showed up significantly magnified), system would then have to be rebooted to bring things back to normal. To me that was more a nuisance than a problem. My switch died after a couple of months operation. I went to a ConnectPRO UD-KIT, USB DVI KVM switch.

Yes, Os shouldn't mater, this is just a switch, and works great to use one keyboard, mouse and monitor. I use mine for my desktop and work laptop

Operating systems should NOT matter. The only issue is whether or not the machines themselves use USB inputs for keyboard and mouse. Serial ports will not work with this device.

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

Yes. I transferred all the user files from my old XP to my new win 7. Please note that it will not transfer the programs, just the user files. I assume that you have run the compatibility test to see what old programs will run under win 7. You may also have issue if you have set up win 7 to run 64 bit. If you have, you can sometimes have the program run as 32 bit. I would also download the latest version of Easy Transfer software from Microsoft. Good luck.

This model has a dedicated button for switching computers. There is a different model that uses hot keys.

Even though Windows no longer supports XP, you may still have protection, depending on the anti-virus you will utilize. Most of us have bitten the bullet and upgraded to windows 7 which works well on the T-500s. Hope this helps!

Yes. I am sharing a printer with two separate computers, one running Win7 and one running XP.

Yes, you can. You will plug one computer in to PC1 and the other one in to PC2. There is a button on top of the switch that you will have to press to indicate which computer is printing.

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.

I don't know but would check with Brother, since XP is not supported any more by Microsoft.

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?

actually you use one monitor, keyboard and mouse between two computers. You switch what the display is showing with a simple button.

Yes, the switch is compatible with both XP and Vista, of which I have one set up with each operating system. It's awesome!--two computers, one monitor.

It depends on the Operating system you are using. Some OS (mainly those designed to facilitate networking Win 7 Pro, ultimate, etc) will allow you to configure and run both at the same time

The switch will go back and forth between the two regardless of whether either computer is on (using the button). I frequently have only one computer attached to the switch because the second computer I use is a laptop, but I have used the switch to go over to the laptop even when the desktop is off. In other words, the switch will do its thing ignoring what the computers are doing.

Works between OS Windows 7 Home Edition (32bit) and Windows XP Professional.

yes it will, you just have to make sure that the computer that is running xp has the easy transfer on it, and then everything will work like it should without a problem. hope this helps
