Customer Ratings & Reviews

This did what I wanted it to do, move my old files to my new computer. It set up fairly easy with only a few bumps, mostly my misunderstanding. Once the program started it operated and everything by itself and even let you know when it was finished with the old computer. I would use this again.

The instructions are confusing but finally transferred all files to new computer. It was supposed to transfer all licenses but that did not work so not sure it is worth the cost. It was not a familiar application to the Geeks at BestBuy.

The program itself was imperfect, insofar as there were stages that did not progress as expected. What made this product superior, however, is the hands-on help by a real IT professional, accesssible through telephone help line and who remotely took over the process. It was successful, but a few disappointments such as porting some printer programs. Additionally, security programs are not ported over. However, I will likely use this product again in the future. Ihad used it before without this difficulty.

This product easily moved all of our applications from an older Windows pc to a brand new pc. I did not have to re-install any programs except for i-tunes and I think that was related to a hardware issue on the new pc. Instructions could be a lot more clear, but tech support was excellent. Saved me hours of work and I'd purchase again.

This product successfully moved my data from my old PC to my new one, and it is easy to use.

The product performed as advertiesed, it even made attempts to transfer programs from the original PC to the new PC. It evaluated the software on original PC and calculated the success percentage of a transfer. (Going from XP to WIndows7) It declared which programs it could transfer, and which ones were questionable, and last which ones it absolutely could'nt. What drags the overall score down to three is the inability to use this product on more than one PC. When you have multiple computers in the household, that drops its value from a 4.5 to a mere 3. I would recommend this to someone with a single PC to transfer, not four PC's like in my household.

I bought this product in hopes of making my process for moving files from my best friends old laptop which is a HP laptop to a laptop that I gave him which is Lenova Gaming laptop. The program would not let us transfer files due because of the HP's operating system. I had to completely wipe the Lenova laptop and start at the beginning to setup everything for my best friends needs. That was a 3 hour task. The program has easy instructions to follow, I just wish it would have worked for the two laptops. I would recommend this product, but I would first check if PCMover will be able to do the transfer for an older pc.

Bought this item to transfer information from my old computer to my new computer. It could not have been easier. I started with the idea that this project was going to be difficult if not impossible, but thankfully I was wrong. The pc mover worked like a dream. And I have lived happy ever after.

It does what is says, it will move files, but be prepared for a LONG wait. My estimated time to move between 1 - 2 TB was approximately 12 - 14 hours. I ended up installing most of my programs manually then copying over my personal game configuration and saved game files using an external ssd and was able to move everything I needed in 8 - 10 hours. I put I would recommend to a friend just because "maybe" was not available. I could say not because it will do what it is advertised to do, but just take a long time even with their fast Ethernet cable.

Easy to install and use if your are familiar with computers. Does save most programs and all files. Works as expected.

My advice is to follow the instructions very carefully and to make sure that there is nothing that will interrupt the transfer which takes a long time to complete. Any "notification" (yes you HP and its users) or screen saver or "update" (yes you Microsoft) will crash the transfer and can make you start over. At the least it will stop the transfer and you will lose time until you come back to restart it (it's like watching paint dry or grass grow if you want to sit there and stare at it). However the final result is that everything gets transferred (except the encrypted or locked to your device stuff (yes you Apple and iTunes). The money and time is well worth not having the frustrations of moving all the settings and favorites and everything else. Given the huge number of variables involved LapLink has done an outstanding job on this product.

It moved all my programs without a problem but I did need to make sure that the Microsoft Office 'trials' were removed from my new PC first. I had to use a tool on MS website to completely remove everything and then my licensed version transferred without a problem. I chatted with PC mover customer service and they gave me the link. They answered the chat in less than a minute. Read the instruction on MS Outlook so you know what the PST file name will be as you will have to rename that one. It identifies the programs that have known issues so its up to you to try. The few I had transferred without a problem.

I've used this before. It moved almost everything over. It didn't move a pdf printer that is installed with my tax software which I'm not sure why, but that was the only thing that didn't get copied over. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars.

Am excellent product to transfer files from one computer to another. I have used it to setup my wife's computer in the past. Recommend that you watch a video to guide you with the steps as you are not always sure which files to bring over and which to not bring over. Moves over everything!

I came across mixed reviews for this item and was a bit hesitant. That said, the product and the included cable worked very well. My iTunes playlists, my email history, and a few lesser known programs did not move over; however, I was able to do that separately. The instruction guide did not match the screens exactly. I feel that it is pricey, especially since it is single use and Windows Easy Transfer was included with previous versions on Windows. That said, there aren’t many options to transfer programs and this worked well.

I purchased this product after buying a new MSI Gaming Laptop. I had had my 17 inch Dell XPS 3D Laptop since 2011 and was time to upgrade. However, I needed a way to move the contents of my dell Hard Drive over to the new MSI Laptop and I had considered other software but settled on PCMover. It was so easy to migrate to the new MSI. I would highly recommend this software for anyone looking to move data, files, settings, etc from a older computer to a new one.

I recently had to move to a new computer due to hardware issues with previous computer. My previous computer was partitioned and Laplink PC mover moves everything to Drive C. The partioned files were put into a folder on drive C naming it Drive(Letter of partition-foler name, for example "Drive_E". Works pretty well as most programs recognize that as the link. However not all programs worked which ment reinstalling or changing settings. In some cases had to uninstall before reinstalling. Another problem was required Serial Numbers even though valid on previous computer did not work. Had to get software providers permission after explaining to update. A number of links had to be updated such as documents, excel, etc. were not found since they had moved from original file location. Still all in all was better than trying to make the move manually. I have many programs and files.

Used this to bring over files and software programs from an XP computer to Windows 8, couldn't have been easier!!! The mover lets you know which files/programs will go over smoothly, which ones won't and which may present a problem. It allows you choose what you want to do regardless of the recommendation. Although it estimated 17 hours to complete, it was done in 2 hours. My XP computer and 8 computer share a monitor/keyboard/mouse and it was easy to use through the KVM switch. Would recommend to anyone and price was fantastic!! It also has a shredder if you want to kill the hard drive for which you moved.

It worked the way it should. Only problem, it can only be used once. You have to purchase another license if you want to use it on different computers.

Worked as advertised. Easy to use. My old system took 2.5 hours to transfer. It was very slow. Now my new system is blazing fast!
