It wouldn’t be old

Windows XP comes with something called a “File Transfer Wizard” that’s supposed to make transferring files from your old computer a snap.  Unfortunately, said “wizard” requires a fast processor and a big chunk of disk space on the old computer in order to work.  Hey Bill, if my old computer had those things, it wouldn’t be old.
