Laplink - PCmover Professional 11 (1-Use) - Windows [Digital]

The program worked beautifully. I had a lot on my old PC - so much it took almost 14 hours to transfer, but transfer it did and I am very satisfied.

Laplink PCmover Professional 11 worked like a charm. I've never had an easier time transferring data to a new PC. I had to purchase a Crossover Cable to help make transfer faster with direct connect.

Works good at getting all the programs and data moved from one computer to another. Just be sure you have in place on the new computer all the users that are on the old computer before you run the transfer.

I am a volunteer for a local non-profit. Our old PC was showing signs of a death so I purchased a new Dell computer based on recommendations by Consumer Reports. I am very pleased with the computer, and I ordered along with it Dell's migration software. I was told that it would duplicate the old computer's files to the new Dell. When I received the new computer, set about loading the migration software on both the old and the new computers. I ran the program on both computers. After 90 minutes, the migration was done. Unfortunately the migration was very incomplete. Only my user account was transferred; the other two, not. NONE of the applications transferred. After reviewing my work, I contacted Dell and was told that the software did exactly what it was supposed to do. I asked for my money back, but Dell refused. (In all of this, I will say that Dell's customer support is TERRIBLE. Very hard to talk with a real, live person) I started to look for others options. I did not want to try to transfer software which was old. I lacked any purchase information. I would have to download the software, and then I would have to try to it work! Windows is so complicated in this area when compared to MacOS. I found the PCMover program and have used Laplink software successfully in the past. I ordered it and downloaded. The installation was quick. I opened its manual which was quite complete. Using it, I started the transfer from the old to new computer. This required over five hours which expected based on the Dell software. After the transfer, I started using the new computer and found that ALL items transferred correctly. The only areas where I had to intervene was deactivating the antivirus software on the old computer so I could activate on the new and do the same for the backup software. After a week of using the new computer, the only problem I have is a startup error claiming a missing driver. I learned that this common with Windows 11. This does not cause any problems.

Worked well in general. Some software a couple of software programs had to be reinstalled which was no big deal. Saved a lot of time and with more security.
