Transferring To A New Computer

How does one get all the stuff that has been backed up on a “My Book”  from an old “XP” computer onto a new computer running Windows 7?

If you used the WD Smartware software to create the backup then you can use the same software in order to retrieve the files.

You can install WD Smartware using the link below:

And then check page #49 of the WD Smartware user’s manual.
