Where did you read that it's not for XP 64-bit? There are downloads for 32 & 64 bit XP on this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/windows-easy-transfer
I've never actually used this utility but as far as I know it works fine to copy your data and settings to a new computer. It DOESN'T copy or move your programs.
