PCmover Professional 11, Ethernet Edition

Having Used Laplink at work (many many years ago) to image PCs as we installed them I felt I could trust the software to move a Windows 10 environment to a new Windows 11 PC. There were many games (both online and local disc) to be moved so I expected a lot of work post transfer. I was pleasantly suprised when most of them transfered with only a login required to get the game up and running again. MS Office transfered without a complaint as did all other 'productivity' progs. The instructions for use, both the online guides and the program as it ran, were easy to follow. I must admit that I expected a more complicated process with more manual intervention but I was delighted when just letting it 'do its thing' produced such excellent results. This may seem expensive but it saved me hours of work and eliminated any human error. I wholeheartedly reccomend Laplink PC Mover!

My third successful 'Windows PC to Windows PC' transfer using this product for over 10 years. First from an Windows XP to Windows 7 PC, then to a Windows 10 PC and now another desktop upgrade using this latest version, PCMover 11 . Around 3 - 6 years between each hardware upgrade. As with previous transfers, PCMover does a good job moving your apps and user accounts overall and this saves a lot of time if you are the kind of person who likes your PC set up in a particular way. The more complex your setup, the more you will benefit from this software. If you have older Apps that are no longer well supported online or no longer have the installation discs like Quicken 2000, Logitech Media Server with third party plugins, this method of transfer will keep you functioning effectively whenever you need to upgrade your hardware. For me, this transfer was particularly easy as many apps like MS Office 2016 now also have perpetual licences so are easy to authorise/verify on the new device after the transfer. I learnt from previous PCMover transfers that Antivirus programs like McAfee can cause issues. So I did a full uninstall (including use of the MCPR tool) on the target PC which was bundled with a trial version before starting. There was no need to uninstall on the source PC as the software defaults to not attempting to transfer this app. The online chat service was very prompt and helpful in sorting out any questions or ambiguities of the choices available on setting up the transfer. A flexible option to be aware of (if you have the time and inclination) is that you can opt to transfer parts of your system at a time as the single use licence allows for unlimited attempts between the same source and destination PCs. Be prepared to leave some time after the transfer to check all is well or tweak the options to make use of any hardware advances that your new hardware offers. On this occasion, my source PC had its User folders on the D:Data drive, but the new target PC has a much larger and faster C:drive which was perfect as PC Mover defaults to putting the Users on the C: drive. I just had to make sure that the rest of the User data was also on the C: drive. Whilst I found that some software 'bugs' were ironed out by this method of transfer (specifically, issues realted to MS Windows, as your system will be based on the latest version of Windows with your new PC), other 'bugs' or issues that relate to other third party apps like Apple might continue to be present on the target PC and have been 'transferred over' too. These may need uninstall and reinstall to resolve. The 2 TB size move was completed in half a day and any minor software tweaks over the following day. Overall a major time saver for me, allowing me time to write this review!

Bought this for the reasons it states on the product, also bought the extra lead as recommended. Not overly impressed with it, kept defaulting to wi-fi transfer even when lead was in. Did eventually move all work from one falling laptop to a new one but it took over 12 hours and despite claims it would mirror the programmes etc. It did not do that 100%. That said it helped in what is a crap task, but wouldn't buy again and it was an out of date product when it arrived.

This is a great application that does exactly what it says on the box. Installation is easy and to run it is a breeze. I did it connected to my old laptop via Wi-Fi. It's a set and forget app and the finished result? My new lappy looks and feels just like my old one with the familiar desktop, folders and apps all where they should be. Two things though: 1 - My stuff took 23 hours to transfer. OK, there was a lot of it and it was via WiFi and 2 - The cable supplied for direct connection had a RJ45 connector at each end and not many laptops these days have RJ45 sockets. Apart from that, superb result. It achieved in 23 hours what would have taken me days to do by hand. Cost out my time by an hourly rate and this is a real bargain 👌 Highly recommended.

Le meilleur logiciel pour transférer les fichiers et surtout les applications d'un ancien ordinateur vers un nouveau que je viens d'acquérir. Utilisation facile et service client très efficace en cas de besoin. Je suis satisfait et recommande cette solution avec son câble de transfert

Professional and easy to use

Ich bin von PCmover begeistert. Es wurden alle Daten mit ihren Strukturen übertragen. Sogar die Einteilung der Festplatte wurde identisch übernommen. Dies war jedoch nicht alles, was noch viel wichtiger war es wurden alle meine Programme (ca.12 Stck) übertragen und waren danach bis auf 1 Programm, sofort lauffähig. Nachdem der Schlüssel hierfür neu eingegeben wurde funktionierte das Programm auch fehlerfrei. Ein super Programm ich kann es nur empfehlen, die Investition macht sich mehrfach bezahlt. Ich möchte mich auf diesem Wege auch für die fehlerfreie Abwicklung bedanken !!! Mfg Georg Schönleben

Transfer process was good, but got User IDs mixed up, and user data files

Prodotto molto semplice da usare è talmente intuitivo che non serve nemmeno leggere la Guida. Ho usato PCmover per passare dal mio vecchio PC a uno nuovo. Il prodotto ha varie opzioni per fare questo trasferimento, siccome diverse cose esistenti sul vecchio PC non mi servivano più ho scelto di indicare io cosa volevo trasferire. Una delle altre opzioni prevede di trasferire l'intero contenuto del disco sul nuovo. Quando il trasferimento è finito ho avuto il piacere di trovare sul nuovo tutto quello che mi serviva, app. files, account utente e tutte le mail. In passato avevo fatto tutto questo manualmente e ricordo di aver speso una enorme quantità di tempo per trasferire files, reinstallare applicazioni e facendo diversi errori. Questa volta è bastato spuntare un elenco creato da PCmover e tutto è stato fatto senza perdita di tempo, tribolazioni varie, re-installazioni di app ed errori. Grazie Laplink. Vivamente consigliato.
