Data transfer from Windows 7 to Windows 10

[MELG8]

Okay let me explain my issue hopefully clearer.  My desktop computer used Windows 7. I had Microsoft Office 2007 on it and used Excel for my personal finances. I backed up my entire computer on an external hard drive(WD My Passport). My finances also backed up on a flash drive.My computer crashed. My new desktop uses Windows 10. I have tried to open the flash drive and it comes up stating it cannot read Word 2007.  How can I get the important data that I have on my flash drives and external hard drive.

Do you have Word (or Office) installed on the new system? If so, there's no reason it cannot open a document from a previous version of Word

Please tell what type of files are on the flash drive? Do you mean you saved each MS file to the drive?

Bad flash drive,,,see above it shoulda worked.
Hope you have other backups...
