Marianne,
I too have my desktop running Windows 7 and my netbook running Windows XP. But I use Dropbox to sychronize my Legacy database between the two computers. I've had no problems running Legacy on the two different operating systems.

Hi – I got a new PC in January, running Windows 7. This is my primary place for all things Legacy. I also have a netbook that I only use when I travel. The netbook still uses Windows XP. If I want to upload my Family File from my PC to the netbook will there be any problems because the operating systems are different? When I want to do this, I save my PC database to a flash drive, then upload that to the netbook, so I have the latest information when I travel. I also use the netbook to add information to the database after I’ve done my research. Then I would save those changes to the flashdrive and upload the latest file to my PC on my return. So I’m worried about problems going in both directions. I also have the Families app for my Kindle Fire, which is great if all I want to do is see my Family File, but it’s too hard to enter data on the Fire.
