Easy Transfer for Windows XP is a utility from Microsoft that allows you to move your application documents and settings from your old XP-based PC to your new Windows 7 computer system.
It Does Not install your old software onto the new computer. It simply moves the files and settings so that when you re-install your software on the new system, it will feel familiar and you can resume working where you left off. This will save time and should help you avoid too many hassles when you begin working on your new system.
The video presented here shows you step-by-step how to use Easy Transfer to perform the migration task.
You will need your Windows 7 setup disk and some means of creating an Easy Transfer run disk for Windows XP. This can be an external hard drive, USB flash drive or network drive. Internal hard disks won’t do for this operation.
Easy Transfer for Windows XP can be downloaded from the Microsoft download center but you need to be aware that the XP version may throw up an error. That’s why this video uses the version of Easy Transfer included on the Windows 7 Setup disk. Using this version seems to work perfectly in tests.
