Re: Windows Easy Transfer

Hi,

No, it only works in the other direction. You might try XP's version, but it
may get confused by the newer user file structure. I wouldn't rely on it.
Backup data you do not wish to lose before beginning by copying it to
removable media, do not use Vista backup for this.

Re: Windows Easy Transfer

You could use PCMover (a Laplink program) to transfer whatever you wanted
back to your XP system.
