Customer Ratings & Reviews

does not come with a usb cable only ethernet which most laptops don't have. Therefore you have to buy an adapter which makes no sense since every computer has USB ports. The alternative is to use wifi which takes over 24 hours. Also it does not bring over all the Apps/programs, which is the only reason I purchased it. Best Buy will not refund you if the software does not work as intended, in addition trying to order the on=line store is a major hassle. I should change this ti 1 star due to Best buy not standing behind its products it sells.

I've used PC Mover twice now and have been pretty happy with it. The only thing I recommend is that the old PC files and applications be cleaned up before copying over to the new PC. Our last experience brought over some of the bad issues from the old PC.

PROS Transfers process for all data and files as advertised. You can manually select each individual data or file or auto select all files and data. It will inform you of files recommending not to transfer due to unstable platforms. CONS Alot of money for one time transfer use between two computers. Ease of use and install, was 20 to 30 minute setup and transfer process.

easy to install and use. Based on your conputer speed to move data

They are in America. Support is in America. They actually have a clue why they are there and what I need. Solved my issue in a heartbeat. Software worked like a charm. Saved me hours by not needing to reinstall programs.

Utilized this software to transfer applications, files, pictures, etc.. from a 10 year old HP to a new ASUS both running Windows 10. It took a couple of tries to download the software updates, but finally worked. I used the provided cable to connect the two computers, and I recommend following the transfer instructions, if you want to successfully transfer everything on the first attempt. I had to run the process twice due to not deleting all files on the new computer which referenced Microsoft's Office software that could be purchased for the new computer, however, my Office 2007 transfer worked on the second try. Also, had some trouble turning off the included Microsoft anti virus software. The end result was that the PC mover software completed the transfer job excellently.

After reading several reviews both good and not so good I was a bit trepidatious in my purchase but really didn't see any better alternatives. It did take two attempts as well as some patience. It is absolutely vital that you read all of the instructions completely before doing anything and following them exactly! The result in the end, perfect!

It works as advertised to move files from one machine to another. We had a lot of software for specialty printers and other business equipment. The equipment was no longer recogonized by the new compute. Totally frustrating.

I have used PC Mover in the past and had excellent results with transferring files and programs from one PC desktop to the next. However, I have learned the software is not simple to use with the new desktop configurations where you have a solid state hard drive or C drive with limited space coupled with a traditional hard drive as D drive with a lot of space. Even after contacting PC Mover technical support, I spent several hours attempting to understand how to handle the transfer and learned that I needed to carefully handle my IPhone backups done on my old PC and reduce the programs transferred to fit on the C drive. Much of my research was self driven via the internet and painstaking before I was able to transfer and set up my new PC as I wanted. It actually took learning how to "program" or transfer via computer language to properly setup iPhone backups on my new PC. It was tiring and complicated and I wish I could tell you all the steps, but you hope the programmers of PC Mover will consider the division of C: and D: configurations in the future to make it all painless.

Took a little patience, but was able to transfer all from my old computer to my new one successfully! Process was not entirely transparent, but I understand the complexity and the myriad differences in systems that had to be taken into account for this to work - good job Lap-link again - been using your products for decades!

Conditionally, I give this 5 stars. I've used it twice. The first time was to transfer from a 4-5 year old lap top to a new one. That took forever (7 hours) and my old PC did not survive the transfer. It simply refused to reboot after. The second time I used it is a week later after the new laptop PC I had bought turned out to have a bum lid switch. This transfer took about 35 minutes and both PCs worked fine after. So I can only guess the initial problem was not due to PCmover, but my old computer. In both instances, the actual process was very straightforward.

Overall the program works great. Data and programs transfer with one notable exception. Although it transfers the files, Quickbooks always fails in some way to transfer properly and fails on the new computer. Other programs may have minor issues that are easily "repaired," but QB always fails to the point of needing to be uninstalled and reinstalled.

This made transferring to a new laptop relatively painless, and the transfers went much more quickly than I anticipated. Gave it a 4 instead of 5 due to a few glitches in the transfers, but nothing to create big problems. I guess I would have been surprised if there had been no blips.

PC mover worked as advertised! It transferred all my items of choice without any issues. It transferred the files, settings, and apps from the old to the new computer while I slept overnight.

It's a 'one trick pony', but what a trick it does. Used it to transfer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The interface was not real intuitive but it does a decent job of guiding a person through the steps. Performed the transfer using a direct connection between computers, (via the supplied cable). Speed of operations seemed limited more by the computer hard drive than anything else. Total time needed will vary depending on products installed as well as number of photos, documents, videos, etc. Count on multiple hours. Full price is a bit much for a one time usage, but competitive with other products out there. Cannot comment on customer support since I did not need to contact them. Other reviews indicate it's less than stellar. As is standard these days, there is virtually no documentation with the product and it does require an online update before using.

Good product but probably not necessary since so much of my computer software transfer was done automatically,

The published description made me believe I would be able to transfer ALL apps like Corel Draw from my old computer to my new computer. That is false. There were other apps such as Microsoft Office that would not transfer either. If you have an external drive, you can transfer music, photos and other files.

Works great at transferring and set up from old to new computer.

I purchased the PC Mover Ultimate program to transfer computer files and programs from an older to a newly purchased computer. It worked nearly flawlessly. I only had to fine-tune two programs. To make the two programs work, I had to add activation codes. PC Mover Ultimate is worth the (already low) purchase price based on the effort and time I saved using this program.

Software worked very well for transferring files to my new computer. Easy to use, recommend watching the install video and reading instructions before stating the transfer process.
