XP was released in 2001. Something are bound to be different and no longer supported.

In terms of legacy support, Windows 7 64-bit dropped support of 16-bit programs. Windows 8 64-bit supports 32-bit programs just fine, just like Windows 7.

And, as it was already stated, you can install whatever software you'd like just like any other Windows OS.
Okay, AFAIK, the necessary info is on the external device, I don't understand how to drag & click on something that cannot be pulled up on the new computer.

So I can install W7 on this new computer?
