I already downloaded the current version of ET for XP from Microsoft. Understand 8 has it already installed. Also read that only the files can be transferred not the settings but wasn't sure if this is correct. We're leaning to towards getting a laptop with 7 if possible.
Thank you!

Can I use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard to transfer from XP to 8?
Also, have a USB cable from a file transfer software that we used in 2003. Are they "generic" or software specific (software is Intellimover 3.6)? Is it outdated?
Thank you for your time!
