I was nervous about loosing my files and programs when transferring to my new laptop and looked at all the solutions. Laplink consistently received good reviews and I was impressed by the straightforward solution this product offered and its simplicity and consumer friendly features. I used it at the end of last year and didn’t experience a single issue with a seamless transfer. Excellent product- thoroughly recommend.

I wanted to transfer almost 1tb from my old PC to my new one. My first worry was that no matter how many times I tried, the supplied Ethernet cable couldn’t be found by either PC, so I had to resort to Wifi. It estimated about 4 hours to do the job, it took about 6 and a half, as it kept flagging up connectivity problems, although the router was fine. When it finished, 2 of my old shortcuts didn’t work and I had to reinstall the printer. This didn’t take me long to sort out. Didn’t need to call tech support. It really saved me hours of work, which is why I paid for it, but the ethernet cable was a waste of time, hence 4 stars instead of 5.

Received item, but had to contact Laplink for a download attachment, apparently the product I received was outdated . I could still use the same reference number but had to download direct from their site. This must have been old stock.

This has not moved with the times. No USB 3 to USB C cable in the package. Had to get an adapter in order to make the transfer possible.When I started using it PC Mover didn’t even spot the custom software I really wanted moving. Will still have to manually re-install it…. :-(The interface where you can select files and folders to move is very restrictive. You can’t really select things yourself. It only shows certain folders and the info shown is far from accurate. 0 Kb content turned out to be several tens of gigabytes….I had to move stuff into the listed folders in order to get stuff moved across. It does not cater for PCs set up differently from what Mickeysoft wants you to do. Still have to manually move photos, videos, permissions, etc. Thank God I use LastPass for my passwords, as from memory, they didn’t come across last time I did this. Next time I will move everything manually again, as I still need to double check what came across and what not. Have to leave myself a note not to buy this again in the future.To put it in a nutshell, Laplink overpromises and massively underdelivers.**Update**The transfer totally screwed up my freshly installed version of Windows 11. Now have to reinstall Windows 11 again and start from scratch. Needless to say I won’t be moving files across via PC Mover (or should I say PC Destroyer?)This product sucks. Don’t buy this!

This does all the hard work for you. It would a nightmare to try and do it by hand.It transferred nearly a 1Tb in a couple of hours with everything in the same directory structure.I needed the online version and had to contact customer services to find it. They were very efficient, helpful and patient.

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!

Einfach, preiswert und tadellos
Bin über YouTube auf Laplik gekommen. Keine großen Kenntnisse (67 Jahre), dennoch hat alles beim ersten Mal geklappt. Nur ELSTER musste ich neu installieren, sonst waren alle Programme dabei. Alle Dateien und keine Probleme beim Upgrade von Windows 10 auf Windows 11. Der Umzug mit dem “Superschnellen USB-Kabel” war wirklich sehr schnell und unkompliziert. Danke.
