Need advice on transferring from XP Pro to Win7 64 bit

I have purchased a new laptop with Win7 64bit pre-install. It is replacing my old XP Pro 32bit laptop. What do I need to do to transfer files and programs from the older XP Pro 32 bit laptop to the new Win-win 64 bit laptop? Thanks

On your XP machine download and install Windows Easy Transfer. I recommend using the advanced option to be sure it gets all your data. Then take the files created to your new machine and in start search type in "windows easy transfer". When you run it, it will create the userids and restore the data.

As for the programs they should all be installed fresh from the install disks or from their installer.
