Re: [LegacyUG] XP on netbook, WIN 7 on PC - can I transfer dg between them?

My files are also saved to Dropbox, but I don't work in Dropbox on either of them, for fear of messing things up.

Ditto for me Cathy, using Dropbox. Against a highly unlikely simultaneous failure of my computer and Drobox,  I still regularly do back ups to another drive as well.
