Very Disappointed - kept forcing me into a Cloud.

Over the years, I've used earlier versions of LapLink PC Mover to migrate data from an old computer to a new one. This Version was a disaster. It forced me to put everything into the Cloud (One Drive). I prefer to stay away from storing data in Clouds, which are large targets that get hacked. Instead, I use an external hard drive, which is a small target and very well protected with security software. But, PC Mover would not allow me to do this, even after two independent attempts. So, I gave up and migrated the data "the old fashion way" from a hard drive back-up to newly installed programs. This took longer, but it worked. I'm done with LapLink and PC Mover.

This worked better than I imagined it would. Well worth the cost of the program if you want to move everything from an old computer to a new one.

The company advertising load/click/move your data. Not true. You also need to have internet access,, which the product does not discuss.
Help line was NO HELP when our transfer didn't work. The software kept telling me to close and restart the process. Wasted many hours thinking the product was working when it wasn't

In my opinion, this is the only way to transfer your configuration to your new computer. Used PC mover to transfer my data, desktop, apps, and configuration, from my old windows 7 computer to my new Windows 11 computer. Used the included Ethernet crossover cable, and it worked like a charm!

I tried to move files on two different computers and neither one worked. The program should be easy enough so that anybody could use it. If security and wallpaper or screen savers have to be shut down, the software should contain directions on how to do it. I do not like to be required to call customer service to use a product.

Does not really transfer over your applications correctly. I spent two days cleaning up after this transfer. I would have been better off starting from scratch. Don't waste your time or your money on this. Better to just use the free transfer programs to transfer over the basics and re-install all your programs from scratch.

Did work due to the software is out date for the state of art new hardware. Had blanks for most of their fillins or buttons. Can't see what I am doing because it is blank. Update software maybe coming. Await for refund, if I get it.

This software was disappointing. It promised to easily move everything from an old computer to a new computer. Took a long time, and left a lot behind. I expected some difficulty, was largely disappointed. Ended up using a stand-alone disk to migrate. Much better.

Once installed on the "old" PC, there were prerequisites to run through before using, like virus scanning and such, and none of them worked. No help in help with that either. I was told in store it was easy to work with, which is why I purchased it. Perhaps it works better with newer versions of Windows, I have still not installed this on the new computer yet, afriad now to even try using the thing.

I purchased this to help someone do an upgrade that they wanted to be 'seamless'. I would not strongly recommend this to a novice user, and an expert probably doesn't need it. This is a single use product, and in a similar situation I would probably not buy it again.

I bought this product specifically for the SafeErase feature which, the box said would allow me to "wipe personal data from your hard drive... before recycling or selling an old PC" including "Customized Deletion" which is "Choose from pre-defined and individual deletion profiles and receive detailed reports on the deletion process." I expect this to allow me to select specific applications and data to delete while leaving the operating system and core applications in place. That wasn't the case. I could wipe the entire drive (including the operating system) and I could safe erase empty disk space, but not really anything more finite than that. While I hoped this would be a straightforward way to clean up my PC before passing it on to someone else, instead it has become a painful, time consuming process.

I had to do 3 complete reinstalls after trying to get PCMover to move me from a Vista Ultimate to a Windows 7 laptop. Ethernet cable did not work on USB/Ethernet connector (though other programs do); twice new computer was locked and unusable; numerous settings failed to transfer. What I hoped would save me hours of work instead cost me several days more. I like Laplink in general, but this program cost me money and much time.
