Download & install Windows Easy Transfer

I am trying download & install Easy Transfer from the site Web of M/S to this PC and have problems.

No. I tried to go at support.Microsoft.com, who told to download/install Windows Easy Transfer on two PCs, the former with Windows XP and a new one with Windows 7. The new PC (Windows & a W.E.T. already installed, but this one, old (Windows XP Hpme, does not, so I went to this PC programs: Accessories/system files/tools transfer, but still unable to get this to work o.))

You are using the wrong program.

Windows XP Home Edition does not have Windows Easy Transfer, so you went somewhere on the Microsoft site and downloaded something.  You should have gone to the web page linked above, where you would have had 4 choices: XP 32-bit, XP 64 bit, Vista 32 bit and Vista 64-bit.  Did you download the version appropriate for your system (32-bit XP almost certainly)?

Assuming that you have downloaded the version appropriate for your system, you should have and then double-click on the icon named "wet7xp_x86.exe" to install Windows Easy Transfer for Windows 7.  The start for this icon must be at the bottom of your start > list all programs.  It is NOT the same as the program that starts the start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > files and Settings Transfer Wizard.  This is the old version, which is designed for the transfer of files, etc. of earlier versions of Windows TO Windows XP.

    Transfer files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer in Windows 8

    Windows easy transfer supports several methods to transfer your files and settings.
    You can use Windows easy transfer to transfer information to a computer running Windows 8 computers with one of the following operating systems:
    • Windows 8
    • Windows 7
    • Windows Vista
    • Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Service Pack 3 (SP3)
    NOTE: Windows Easy Transfer cannot transfer files between a 64-bit version of Windows and a 32-bit version of Windows. Instead, the files must be transferred manually using external storage devices. To find the version of Windows on your computer, see the is the Version on my computer 32-bit or 64-bit Windows
    ? support document.
    Step 1: Determine the best method of transfer

    When you transfer files between Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 computers, choose a method that works on both computers. Windows easy transfer supports the following transfer methods:
    • External hard drive or USB flash drive: to use a USB flash drive, you need a USB port on each computer. If you use an external hard drive, it must be compatible with both computers.
    • Easy transfer cable: you need a special USB cable designed to work with Windows 8 and Windows Easy Transfer and a USB port on each computer. If you don't have an easy transfer cable, you can order one online or get one at an electronics store. The easy transfer cable is supported on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers.
      NOTE standard USB cable: A cannot be used to transfer files and settings between computers.

    • Network: both computers must be connected to the same cable or wireless network and both computers must be able to share files and folders.

    To decide which method to use, consider the amount of information you will sit. If you are transferring everything from all users on the computer, or all of your user account files, an easy transfer cable, external hard drive or a network works well. If you transfer only a few files or folders, a USB works well.
    Step 2: Open Windows Easy Transfer on the new computer in Windows 8.1

      Also, did you really use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard to back up your files or did you use the built in the files and Settings Transfer wizard in Windows XP? If you used the files and Settings Transfer Wizard, that won't work no.

      Should I just try a different transfer method?

      Yes.

      Windows Easy Transfer and files and Settings Transfer seized were never so great because they are really made to move (IMHO) from one system to the other * at time of the original operating system release * because they start pretty quickly leaving aside the settings and applications.  Since you are going from Windows XP to Windows 7, use this:

      If you want to transfer both applications - you can spend a little money on the product (23.95 USDs as you move from XP) and get the professional version:
