“Is this external hard drive compatible with both WIN XP and Vista? I’m in the process of purchasing a new laptop and need to transfer files. My college PC from 2007 uses XP and my laptop from 2009 uses Vista. If not, then what is recommended?”

Hello Matt, The Seagate Expansion Portable 3.0 hard drive is not compatible with Windows XP and Vista. Per data sheet these hard drives require Windows® 10, Windows 8 or Windows 7 operating system. Here is the link to the data sheet: https://www.seagate.com/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/expansion-portable-DS1842-6-1907-WW-en_EM.pdf Unfortunately Windows XP and Vista are not supported anymore, so there are no current hard drives that could be recommended. Regards, Zac Seagate Support
