    PC Mover is Great

    PC Mover worked great. No problems and was easy to use. Safe Erase was difficult because we had to rehookup old computer to network to register the product so the software would work.

    Makes transfer of Windows to a new computer easier. Programs transfer along with user data. Limit on use makes this a pricy item though.

    Purchased to migrate Win 7 to Win 8.1. Allowed me to migrate the entire Adobe Master Collection, CAD programs, Windows programs, settings, email, etc., without having to re-install anything. Instructions could be better at identifying needless transfer items and it may take more than one try to get the migration perfect. Can be run more than once if you reverse the migration and do not shut down PCMover or the computers. LapLink will reset your license if you need to restart and their support is excellent. This is time consuming and not for the uninitiated, but well worth the time and effort - a must have.

    Been using this since XP was replaced years ago. it was the only product I came across that would more both data and programs to the new system - no matter if it's on the same machine or a different one. used it on dozens of machines at work, home, and for others. Zero issues. much faster then reloading all the programs and if you can't find your old disks, a lot cheaper.

    I believe that I followed the instructions correctly the first time, but not all transferred. I did it again and it worked as advertised. It did save time over transfering manually.

    The LapLink program (and cables) have been around forever, too bad they've not made using the software any easier. If you're looking at LapLink, buy the basic program and use a standard network cable to connect the two PCs.

    Wanted to move all the settings and programs from an 8.1 system to a 10 system. After struggling with it I called support. I also decided to purchase the 14 day advanced support for $99. The best thing I could have done. The techs basically did everything for me and followed up afterwards to ensure my programs were working as in the case of my Office Suite...I got that up and running thanks to the tech... For those of you not computer savvy and just want "things to work" I highly re commend this product and the basic advanced tech package.

    Effective but not perfect.

    PCMover moves programs to a new computer very well but it would be difficult for a novice to use without the technicians who help with the process. The multi-step process can bring surprises. For example, it is not clear what must be done when two computers have different versions of the same operating system. Or, when limited disc capacity on the destination computer requires selective exclusion of programs or folders, the way PCMover displays folder structure can be confusing. With the understanding that the process is time-consuming and may require being on the phone with a technician or receiving remote access assistance, PCMover is a good and inexpensive way to set up a new computer.

    I found it to be quick and easy to install and figure out the use of it. Worked very well other than a couple of items it couldn't successfully move but I kind of expected that.

    The best approach for a DIY move of PC stuff!

    Unless you are going to pay someone to do it for you, and they probably will use this software anyway, this is the best approach for a DIY move of your PC stuff from your old one to the new one. It also comes with trial versions of duplicate-checking software and Safe-Erase which both come in handy for this process.

    A little difficult to first setup - but worked well using the transfer cable provided. Transferred all my data and programs. Only needed to provided the product key numbers on a few programs.

    Program worked

    This program worked as it was supposed to. I just need to stress that your READ AND FOLLOW all instructions in the order they are given. Save yourself a lot of wasted time and grief by not clicking on their (obvious ads) that try to get you to purchase something else. If you simply follow the directions everything should work fine for you.

    First, the cost of this item is relatively expensive for software to automate a process you can complete manually with a little knowledge and effort. Second, when you read the instructions you will spend more time reading the disclaimers of why it won't work than what will work. Third, if you are moving from 32 bit Windows to 64 bit don't bother; reinstall your programs manually and copy your files. The program moved many files and folders but didn't move the documents folder and many 32 bit programs were moved that would not run and would not uninstall. I spent more time cleaning up after the program than if I had done the work myself. I purchased this as a trial run before moving other computers and will not purchase other copies.

    Bought this to do transfer to my new computer. Semi worked. Some programs I had to reload. Seemed to drop key features. I was using Ethernet cable. Don’t know how it would have worked with USB cable.

    After purchase of a new laptop with Windows 10, I wanted some programs to be moved from my old laptop. This option got the job done. I wished that I could have selected the transfered canidates though.

    Excellent product, worked as described, easy to use. Note that in some cases you may require a USB to Ethernet adapter if your PC is not equipped xwith an Ethernet port. Going over wifi is slow.
