Question 1

Will this program transfer files from a Windows XP to a new computer running Windows 8.1?

Accepted Answer

Laplink PC Ultimate for me was a waste of money. If I had not opened the product I would have returned it.

Windows Easy Transfer will move the files for free and is easier to use. This is a free Windows utility. You access it by typing Windows easy mover or file transfer in the search box.

Question 2

Does it transfer Microsoft office products -- I bought a new computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it transferred Microsoft Office 2007 fine with a couple of small issues:  1) I had to reactivate the product on the new computer, and 2) I had to re-associate the file types (.docx, xlsx, pptx, etc.) with the application.
