How to: Upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7
The popular operating system won't magically stop working on April 9, but starting that day, Windows XP will be vulnerable to viruses, spyware, malware, and other attacks; performance will degrade over time, new programs will stop running, and new hardware like printers and accessories will no longer support the old operating system.
You now have a new overall look, and the next logical step is to upgrade to a newer operating system like Windows 8 or Windows 7. The only problem is that moving files, photos, and settings to a new PC can be a hassle for many users. That's why Microsoft has partnered with Laplink to offer Windows XP users a simple, fast, and free tool to transfer your data to newer hardware.
Laplink PCmover Express is a free tool that allows anyone to transfer data from their old PC to a new device. Basically, you download and install the software on your source PC (Windows XP) and on the destination PC (Windows 8 or Windows 7) to transfer documents, photos, music, videos, settings and other files over the network. The following steps will show you how to use the software properly.
