    Excellent product I have used for many years. Efficiently moves files, applications, and data from computer to computer. I will continue to use in the future!

    Excellent product, worked as described, easy to use. Note that in some cases you may require a USB to Ethernet adapter if your PC is not equipped xwith an Ethernet port. Going over wifi is slow.

    The program worked as described. It was a little slow and had to restart it a couple of times to finish. It did transfer all my files and settings which was what I wanted.

    After researching online what software to use to move files from one computer to another, I decided to buy this. It was easy to find and just what I needed. The price was good also. I would recommend this to anyone to transfer files between computers. There aren't many places that sell computer software that you can drive to anymore. It would have taken me hours to transfer without this software.

    Although it took a while to transfer from my old computer to the new, it was a fairly easy process. I am still reviewing my new computer data and programs but so far so good.

    Software is good, user errors lurk

    The software transferred most everything from old to new computer. One issue that slowed me up was not disabling firewalls on both computers. Looking back, it did instruct me to do this in the instructions, but I'm not used to looking for those settings. Tech support was prompt when I called late on Sunday evening of a long holiday weekend. Microsoft Office (legitimate copy) transferred fine. The computer shop charges $150 to move files between computers, and doesn't move apps. This was a much better deal. I did use the ethernet cable to connect the two computers. I could not get the wifi connection to work.

    Confusing at first, but it all worked out well in the end. Not only did all my data files transfer only, but so did all my programs! Took a long time, but I don't recommend doing it overnight at least the first time because you may end up waking up to the process waiting for one final click for something to continue. Just plan to take the day off, the results will make you happy!

    Was not sure how to move my files from my old win 10 laptop to my new one. After some research I found PC mover software and I must say I’m very pleased. Their tech support was first class and highly recommended if you need to move your files from machine to another.

    Moved everything except my email software, Thunderbird. So I have had to recreate tons of folders and filters that I expected to be transferred easily.

    Made a mess of my machine

    After using this software, I confirmed what others have said about this program: it works for some and not for others. For this process I had a older 32 bit machine with Windows 10 transferring to a new 64 bit Windows 10 machine. I had thought that this would be relatively easy since both machines had the same OS installed. In my case, on my old machine, for security purposes, I set up a non-admin user account from which to do my day to day work. For the most part after I did the transfer I could use the new admin account, but it made a mess of my new non-admin user account. I ended up having to blow away that account and just use toe admin account. I keep my data separate from my programs by creating a separate data partition on my machine. I do this to facilitate restoring from a backup if I need to. I therefore relocated the My documents files to the data partition. When I used this software, it created a My Documents directory in my admin account and moved some files there, It also moved some files to my data drive and it duplicated some files on both. I had to end up combining everything and doing it manually. Not all of my software transferred. It appears that just popular titles transfer and it ignores many applications. I could not find a list of the files it did not transfer and had to go through one by one to find what was missing. The Ethernet cable provided was not recognized by the software and therefore useless. I ended up using my wireless network to do the transfer. The license is only good for one time. If you blow away the mess that was made and want to start over, you are informed that you have used up your license. Worst of all, Best Buy will not take the software back after the box is opened, so you have to rely on Laplink for a refund. Several reviewers said that they have waited months and not seen their refund. Bottom line: If your machine has only one user, only one partition, you only use popular software, and you don't need to rely on the cable they provide, it might work for you. Make sure that you have a backup of your new machine before you start. Good luck.

    I ended up doing it myself since I was moving from a larger drive to a smaller drive even though I had sufficient space. The outside of the box did not warn me of this.

    This moved all the files from one Win10 PC to another. Old 32 bit software like the Office 2003 didn't work right though. Modern software was OK.

    4 instead of a 3

    The ease of use, in my case, was not apparent. It did half of it's process on its own but the other half I had to call customer service (the phone number is NOT on the packaging). I will say that the US and local rep was great at helping me complete the task. The 3 instead of 4 is because I had to research for the customer service line and STILL redial a separate number. As if they don't want you to call if there's a problem. I would still recommend this software.
