Question

transfer files etc. to new comp.

Apr 3, 2015 8:13AM PDT

Just got refurbished HP 8000 Elite C2D 3.0GHz 8GB DVD Win 7 Pro64 comp. What do I need and can I find directions on how to transfer my files, Email, Google bookmarks etc. to this comp. from my old early 2000's Dell B110 2G 32 bit XP unit? The current piece was a gift from a neighbor who upgraded a few years ago and I just learned from scratch on that, but I am truly computer illiterate. I have some USB flash driver but they say only compatable with Windows 2000/ME/XP/Vista will they work with Win 7?
