Files have owners. It is the owner who must authorize access. Sticking with read only access (all that's required) should keep it simpler that trying to authorize write access.

I converted my old XP 32-bit machine to Win 7 64-bit about a year ago. Some things I simply copied over the network but, since I was moving a huge amount of stuff I ultimately pulled the drives out of the XP machine and inserted then into an external eSATA drive dock. Much quicker that way.

I would be interested to hear how the transfer goes in practice.
