The PC Mover worked fine! Easy to use with good instructions and it came with safer ease for old laptop. Could you do it yourself? Why! I recommend PC Mover.

July 12, 2025. The product achieves the goal. The cloning process was excellent. It is important to follow the instructions to prepare both computers. The preparation of both computers will achieve the goal of cloning the original computer.

Software was working but it took a very long time to run the transfer process. The first time I went to the store the sales associate had no idea that you had this software. I came back to return what I was given and found the correct software myself.

PCMover was easy to install. It helped to print out the instructions. The transfer took less time as originally posted by the software.

I had to down load a updated copy to both of my computers and while it was gathering the computer information it started to try to reconnect to the ether net cable port instead of the WI FI it was using. i tryed tech support and have not heard back from them.

Replaces a PC that only supports win 10. Used this to move applications from old to new PC. Worked very well. Easy to install and start, then worked on it's own. Done after about an hour and a half. Note: I did not use it to move files (pictures, spreadsheets) although it will also do them. I choose to create a backup and then restore the backup to the new machine.

My review for this product would give it an excellent rating with that meeting 20 a 1/2 out of 5 stars. Pros of the product include easyness of use,friendly and very helpful customers support, And the purchase amount compared to what you get is very great deal. I guess the only pro that might factor in is loading speed. But I'm not all that good with computers so that could have to be with an issue on my end.

Instructions Lacking (Connect the cable anyway!)

This review is for the “store version” which is the one with the PC to PC cable included. I followed the instructions to the letter. As I was teeing up both PCs but before connecting the cable a message appeared on the new PC saying Wi-Fi was the appropriate method to transfer the data. I started the process and that’s when 45 hours to completion notice popped up (yikes! This is just a simple home computer). Got hold of support which gave me somewhat inaccurate instructions and ultimately the transfer process stopped. I couldn’t restart so I uninstalled the software from both computers, reinstalled the software and started the process again but ignored the Wi-Fi message and connected the cable to both computers anyway. Two hours later it was done.

Works well to transfer photos and most data and settings. Some add on programs like security software required added setup but cannot imagine the switch without it.

Made Moving to a New Lap Top a Breeze

I had last used PC Mover in 2015 when I moved everything to a new lap top. I was kind of troubled by negative reviews I was reading because the overall experience was mostly positive last time around.
After installing the software on both computers I followed the standard instructions. And 6 hours later I had everything I needed from my old computer on my new. I was worried because I had a few Adobe Cs6 programs that are not supported or sold anymore and I had lost the key. No worries, they were transferred and activated as promised.
The only minor hitch was my Office 365 programs. They were transferred but wouldn't work because the computer configuration was different than the subscription. I only needed to update the subscription and reinstall and I was good to go. I don't know how it could be easier to get what you need off your old computer on to your new one than PC Mover.

Did not use, purchased to use migrating to new computer, but by the time the new computer installation was completed 90% of the migration occurred automatically through Microsoft. Manually moved data files to finish up so never even opened the box and returned it.

Software was great - transferred about 500 GB of data and apps in about 4 hours. I tried twice to transfer using the cord included in this package but got error messages both times. Ditched the cord and transferred over my wired network and it worked fine. If I were to do it again, I would download the software with a license key; it then prompts you to download the latest version anyway. The directions are pretty easy to follow.

Outstanding software program! Prep time approximately 10 minutes and the actual time to move files and apps from old PC to new PC another 10 minutes! Suffice to say in 20 minutes not only did I transfer all of my files, it also transferred all of my apps including settings! No longer did I have to wait hours and hours for transfer. I did purchase a transfer cable to accomplish this as the enclosed ethernet cable would not plug into my laptops.

Two computer transfer experiences

I was able to move data from old compiter to a new one. I'm not very good at computer stuff. It wasn't as seamless as I had hoped, but it worked. I did laptop to laptop and used WIFI because the HDMI cord that was included didn't fit the laptops. It took 16 hours to transfer the data. I used the second PCmover that I bought to transfer desk top to desktop and the HDMI cord was used. It took about 4 hours to transfer way more data than the lap tops. Overall I am pleased. I would buy them again if necessary.

Instructions were easy to follow. Used the customization option to move only what was needed from old to new computer. Transfer was completed in a couple of hours on .5G of data. Much easier than what we had done before to transfer files.

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.

I really researched products that would help me move all my files from old WIN7 PC to my new WIN10 computer. I decided on this product, because it doesn't just create a copy of your old system on your new one, it actually moves your files and programs. You choose exactly what you want to move. While it can't move everything, because of compatibility, it sure did a good job at moving most of my programs and all of my files. This product was absolutely worth it. I wouldn't only recommend it, I would purchase it again!

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.

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!
