Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

Easy to install and use.a little confusing transfer of data All apps will not transfer depending on the version of windows,all together Ok.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pcmover did the transfer easy.just some program need key code.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This is a very valuable utility to move software to a new PC, but beware of two critical items: 1) Many software programs are locked to the hardware of your old PC. You will need activation codes, serial numbers or other information to be able to use your programs on the new PC. Be SURE that you have determined all license data on the old pc and tested all software on the new PC before trashing the old PC. 2) Install PC Mover on both PC's while they are still connected to Internet! Check for latest version and install it BEFORE trying to connect the two PCs. Once the newest version is installed on BOTH PCs then disconnect from the internet. You may need to leave your NEW PC connected to the web before it will allow going forward. Once you have met all the restrictions and have the latest software let it transfer and all will be ok - EXCEPT for moving software licenses to the new PC

Fairly good product. It does not measure up to its own claims. It failed to transfer Microsoft 365 from the old computer to the new. The program warned me to remove trial copies of Microsoft 365 from the new computer before proceeding. I complied and now suspect that was incorrect. So, useful but do not expect it to be as all-encompassing as claimed

I have never used a program to install a new computer; but this one proved itself invaluable. It brought over 99% of my data & programs seamlessly. It allowed me to do multiple passes as I changed the drives from old to new. Tech support was excellent after I made mistake.

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.

I bought a new HP pavilion windows 10 at Best Buy to replace my 7 year old Dell Laptop Windows 7 I didn't download or read the guide book, just jumped right in with download & preparation for transfer I had an issue downloading the software update, I called the 24/7 help line, the support person remote accessed into my computer, updated software was downloaded, and ALL contents of old computer was transferred The transfer cable was an Ethernet Cable between the two, transfer took bout 2 hours transferring bout 150 gb On my old lap top I was running Office 2003 with an Office 2007 compatibility patch, Office transferred just fine Software was worth every penny I paid for it!

Simple to use and moves all your data and programs. Used to transfer from a Win7 laptop to a new Win10 laptop. Note: programs must be compatible with the OS on the new system that you are moving to.
