Product Description
PCmover is the only migration utility that moves programs, files, and settings from your old PC to your new PC. Simply install PCmover on both your old and new computers and go! PCmover will determine which programs, files, and settings need to be moved, and when the transfer is complete, your new computer will have the personality and functionality of your old PC plus all of its own pre-installed software. Works with almost any Windows operating system, from Windows 95 to Vista. NEW! Now with PCmover's selectivity features, you can choose which applications, folders and files to take with you when you migrate to your new PC. PCmover can migrate your PC across a network, Laplink USB cable, Laplink parallel cable, Windows Easy Transfer Cable, or any type of removable media that can be read by both PCs. If your computer has multiple users, PCmover gives you the option to migrate some or all of the users at once. The security information about file ownership and access control is preserved for each user. You can even use PCmover to migrate your PC to an Intel-based Mac.

5.0 out of 5 stars PCMover Saves Time and Hassle, July 22, 2008

By	M. Chamberlain (Stafford, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have used PCMover twice now for moving programs, settings and files from old computers to new computers. The results have been great. Not all programs will move flawlessly. Some I have had to reinstall, reactivate or adjust settings. I found that it was much better to uninstall any programs that are not moving from the old to the new computer before beginning the transfer. I found that uninstalling the anti-virus and firewall software to be the most important to unintall from the old compouter before starting the transfer. I have used the 2.0 USB cable for the fastest transfers. Make sure you have an existing 2.0 USB port on your old computer or your transfer time will be long.

1.0 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE! BEWARE!, October 12, 2008

By	J. Wignall "JWigs" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a headache and a waste of time and money! I used this product to transfer from an XP desktop to a new Vista desktop. Getting it to transfer in the first place was a frustrating, time consuming struggle, involving an online chat with tech support, who was marginally helpful at best. They resolved the issue by having me switch ends of the transfer cable, which has NO MARKINGS to indicate that it makes any difference which way it is connected. After several tries the transfer worked. 14 hours later it was done. I then started to explore the new computer to find that almost none of the transferred software worked. Those that did work, such as photoshop, were unable to open any of the associated files that were transferred with them. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several applications to find that they would not work at all because PCMover had changed OS settings. I talked with tech support for several software apps and they could not understand why they wouldn't work. I was advised that PCMover had corrupted the OS, and that I would need to erase and recover the hard drive. I am now in the process of doing that. Hopefully PCMover hasn't completely trashed my new PC. With any luck I will be starting fresh tomorrow at square one where I was before I ever installed this crap software.

Save yourself a lot of time and aggravation by just manually re-installing your software and transferring your necessary files. I wish I had.

5.0 out of 5 stars A+ software, June 9, 2008

By	T. Strider (Seacoast of NH) - See all my reviews

Always skeptical about "easy solutions"...but I can tell you this is one of the "easy solutons". changed from XP to Vista machine and everything went smoothly. there were a few apps that I did have to delete and reinstall--but I think that had more to do with Vista than PCMover. I do suggest REALLY following the directions. The nice part was the old files were still on my old machine. I waited a week to bang on the new machine before taking them off the old one...just to be safe.
