Do you put 1 on each end or just 1 on 1 end?

You install only on one end. To make a cross over cable you attach one of of these adapters to a regular straight through Ethernet cable

i have a cat 5 ethernet cable going directly from my netgear router to my xbox 1 i want to play computer games through my xbox 1 do i need crossover

No router to computer (Xbox) needs a straight cable. A crossover is used for like devices (computer to computer/ switch to switch or hub). Hope this helps

Does this work with cat7, I don't see why it wouldn't? I am just wanting to make sure before I buy.

Yes it works. The only difference between cat6 and cat7 is the frequency the data is transferred at! :)

do i need software to make the transfer possible?

The answer above will allow you to transfer files. NOT programs. For that, you need PCmover by Laplink. They have versions that come with a cable, but one of these adapters, and an ethernet patch cord will do the trick. The software is available on Amazon, and the version without the cable is available for direct download from Amazon Hope this helps
