Whoever updates their operating system is making a digital move. Windows XP users cannot permanently escape this fate. Security updates are a thing of the past, Microsoft no longer delivers anything.

PCmover - What Windows XP users should consider
PCMover takes all Windows XP content with it to Windows 7 or 8: music, videos, emails, documents, user profiles and even system settings. All free of charge. The paid Pro version even transfers installed programs.
Many Windows XP users will move to Windows 7 with PCMover, as the system has a similar user interface and working environment to XP. However, you should ask yourself whether you shouldn't upgrade to the latest Windows generation right away given the effort involved. Because: Windows 8 can now be designed in a similar way to 7.
