It moved almost everything perfectly. Didn't move my old Word program so having some difficulty opening some word and Excel documents on new computer.

I used this to move apps, files and settings from an old computer to a new computer. It worked ok.....
Perhaps I didn't read the features or details well but this doesn't really copy over everything but it does at least give you a report at the end of things that did or didn't copy over.
Better than nothing. I probably would still be working at it if I tried to do it manually.

PC Mover directions were easy to follow and not complicated. . It moved almost everything from my old computer to my new computer. The only thing that was not moved were some of my passwords. All my files, pictures, and documents were moved with out a problem. It did not take as long as I expected.

Good value. I transferred apps and data from old laptop to new one. Literally moved most all apps and settings. Some apps require you to re-register on the new system. (like Microsoft office). Only reason 4 stars is because it took almost 14 hours to transfer about 197GB. Other than that, it worked nearly flawlessly.

It did not transfer everything I expected it to. Directions were difficult and had to call customer support as they neglected a few steps in their instructions.
I was able to complete the transfer from Carbonite.

I purchased this so move my programs and files from my old computer to a new computer. It worked great. It had easy to follow directions and after a few hours it was done. No copying and pasting, no moving to a external hard drive. I was able to do other things while the transfer process worked. My new computer had all my stuff from the old computer.

Great software for what it does

The software makes a total copy of your old drive to the new drive. That means that all of the junk files such as logs and .tmp files moves over to the new-fresh drive. More, if you have installed software along the way with your OLD computer the leftover files are transferred as well.
Take the time and carefully select what you want to move over!!

Did not transfer files properly as in previous versions. Files were moved to the cloud instead of the new PC, had to be manually fixed. Outlook pst files were missing. Some documents did not transfer with the most recent version. Spent over two hours fixing all the problems.

The program has fairly simple and easy instructions. However, care should be used to see what is applicable to your computer and for exceptions.

Great product. There is no better Wayu to move applications and files from one computer to another. Before you transfer application keep copy of your passwords. You can download those from FireFox or Edge plus your application passwords with and application called Belarc that is free

Does move most of the apps, but you still have to have serial numbers to re-activate apps.
Couldn't tell if file transfer was processing or stuck in a loop since the time to complete kept getting to 1 hour and then moving back up to 1 hr 10 minutes.

The software worked exactly as advertised. It's needed now to move from XP/Vista to Windows 8.1, because Microsoft removed the Windows Easy Transfer capabilities for those operating systems. The price for it was the same as what I found on the Internet, so I didn't have to wait for it to be shipped..
