Amazingly Effective!

Having migrated systems and files from computer to computer since the days of Commodore 64s, Apple IIs and IBM DOS, I had never run across a migrating/transfer program (app) that didn't leave something behind at best, or corrupt an entire system at the worst -- until now. PCMover did the trick, moving my entire, overcrowded and largely non-updated 10-year-old Windows 10 mess onto a new, gaming-and-video-editing-caliber Windows 11 machine without so much as a hiccup. Everything runs, so far nothing has had to be reinstalled, and nothing (data, files, settings, etc.) was lost. My only tense moments came when a thunderstorm erupted in the middle of the 5-hour transfer and half the town lost power -- but my office didn't. Thank you Laplink for a great product. Well worth the money, and then some!

It worked for me!

This was my second time using PCmover _both times were successful. The only issue I had was I ordered the ethernet cable, only to discover my new laptop did not have an ethernet cable jack. Got an RJ45 to USBC adaptor and everything worked well. Instruction PDF was very detailed and got me past any rough spots.

Easier and faster than doing the data transfer without this software

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

This is the second time I've used Laplink software to transfer data from my old computer to a new one. Most of the data transfer went well, though slow using wireless transfer. Unfortunately, my MS Office 2019 did not transfer and some passwords did not transfer. I went ahead and bought new MS Office 2019 via Stack Social for my new computer and updated those passwords that didn't transfer properly. Until there's a better solution for transferring data from an old computer to a new one, I expect to continue using this product.

Moved the programs and files in 40 min

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Once I got the PC Mover software installed on both the old and new PC, the process instructions were clear and started the move in just a few minutes. The whole move of programs and files took only about 40 minutes. The only glitch was that AVG did not move so that had to be reinstalled which did not take very long. The user had a multiple PC license so all worked out OK. The surprise however that occurred on the OLD PC was that the Ethernet adapter was no longer functional and Windows couldn't recognize it. I then installed a wireless adapter but Windows said that an error occurred and the driver could not be installed. I was able to install that adapter in another PC with no problem. Also, the System Restore doesn't work and won't even start. Support at PC Mover was easy to reach but they said that the PC Mover software is not capable of damaging the old PC by moving programs or files since is just a copy function. Anyway it appears to be an ugly coincidence and I guess formatting the HD and reinstalling Windows 10 is my only option at this point.

UPGRADED RATING: Relatively inexpensive software, but the company then attempts to scare you into expensive tech support

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2018

UPDATED: The transfer has now been completed. It was reasonably good at moving most things, but certainly not all things. It did not migrate our antivirus, printer software, or VPN software, for example, and it resulted in problems with the VPN that resulted in having to download special software from the VPN company that erases all traces of the software so I could start over on a reinstallation of the VPN. Simple uninstalls of the Epson printer software and antivirus (Zone Alarm) were all that was needed prior to a reinstallation of both of those, and Laplink's people told me ahead of time (during my final phone support) that the printer and antivirus/firewall software would not go across in the transfer - much appreciated heads up. With a bit more tweaking, I am now in good shape and very satisfied. It STILL beat taking the time to re-load each program, re-set up all the favorites in Firefox, etc., etc., etc. - IF I hadn't had all the other issues with them.

One extraordinarily good aspect was my final phone support session with Laplink. I originally transferred from an older Windows 7 laptop to a newer laptop that had been upgraded to Windows 10 last year but not used since the upgrade except to check it out. After the transfer was finally completed over this past weekend, it APPEARED that we had a very good transfer. However, video problems with on-line streaming were a problem, and further research yielded the undisclosed fact (by Dell or Microsoft) that the computer wasn't certified for Windows 10, and never should have been upgraded. I reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled the original Windows 7 configuration.

I called back to Laplink and explained the situation, fearing that because I had already used the 1-time license for the transfer, I'd have to purchase another license. Instead, they listened to the information, and simply reset the serial number. I then went to telephone support due to an initial problem with the software, and the representative stayed on the line all the way through the set up, analysis, etc., to make certain the transfer initiated properly. This was by far ~the~ most impressive tech support session in my lifetime, and that spans from my first computer course (Fortran IV) in 1966.

Despite some bugs in Version 11 (acknowledged by the last support rep), and the earlier "up-selling" problems that were serious turn-offs (see original review below), I have to acknowledge that in the end, the software did its job fairly well, and at least some of their tech support people do not try to sell the expensive "advanced technical support," and they actually provide tremendous support. I have upgraded an original 1-star review to three stars. If I had it to do over again, I don't think I'd go with version 11. The phone support tech had to install a previous version that eliminated the bug I encountered when I tried to re-do the transfer, and explained everything very thoroughly - highly impressive. Just don't get version 11.

ORIGINAL: What the company does makes this an unacceptable piece of software. I backed up both computers, updated the operating system in the new (receiving) computer, and was read to go. I was short on time, so I called Laplink just to find out approximately how long the move might take, and was given an acceptable range after several intelligent questions they asked. So far, very impressed.

Then the offered to at least run a scan of the two computers to make sure there wouldn't be any problems with the transfer, at no charge. Great! Seemed very impressive. I even had the thought that if they do this for anyone calling their "free" 24/7 support line, the price of the software is a massive bargain!

Next came the major problem. They did find a number of registry and other unspecified problems using their software (they take control of both computers to run it of course). And suddenly we're talking "advanced technical support" at a minimum of $99 for a 14 day guarantee, and $199 for a full year. But no worries, they said, they could virtually guarantee that they'd be able to complete the transfer without any problems left over. I mentioned that I was beginning to run short on time and didn't have time today to do everything, and their offer was to just stay connected even after I left the house, and they've complete everything for me. Uh, no. I wanted to run my existing and (previously) trusted registry cleaner myself, and THEN see if there were problems before proceeding with the transfer. The pushy sales job for the "advanced technical support" (twice or four times as much as the software itself) started. I declined, partly out of the totally undisclosed "up-charges" that aren't mentioned anywhere on the product box, nor on the extremely skimpy printed instructions inside. But I also can't justify especially their premium support at an additional $200.

I'm stuck - I can't return it to Amazon because I've opened the software and broken the seal on the CD package. I MIGHT be able to call them back and see about a refund from Laplink, but they say it will take 8 weeks, and previously said that was only when their software wouldn't work.

So, is this review about software I haven't even installed yet? Absolutely - because they sell you the software and cable for about $50 on Amazon (more from the company direct), and only when you call them do they immediately try to "up-sell" you on "advanced technical support," trying to scare the user into accepting their "guaranteed" support. And yes, I AM concerned about what will happen if the transfer doesn't work, since I subsequently learned that my registry software is no longer supported past Windows 7 (the computer I'm migrating to a Windows 10 computer), and according to Laplink's initial tech support (the free part that tries to become $100 or $200 support), my Windows 10 computer also has "significant" errors on it," and they specifically recommended AGAINST doing the transfer until the problems are resolved - by them - at a hefty price.

So yes, this review is about the software and the company behind it - which I've always thought was a fully trustworthy company, to be honest. But now I see how they justify selling the software and cable for a relatively low price - they strong arm customers into paying for previously undisclosed additional technical support and tell you that they "cannot recommend" a transfer at this time, based on the problems they found. That's poor business, and a relatively useless product. Heck - how do I know the diagnostics they did are even accurate, or even worse, whether they're intentionally misleading in order to up-sell the additional tech support?

I could not be more disappointed (and frustrated). I picked Laplink because of their long-standing reputation, only to get what seems to be a very sleazy way of extracting considerably more money from customers. I'm willing to bet that almost ANY well used computer will show considerable registry issues, and that becomes a "we cannot recommend transfer at this time." What a dilemma to put customers in. Some might call that extortion....

I was reluctant to buy a new laptop to replace my ten year old Lenova Yoga Windows 10 because of my fear concerning the transfer of all my programs, apps, settings, etc. I bought Laplink PCmover Ultimate 11 to accomplish to transition.

Well let me tell you about my experience. FLAWLESS!! Everything smoothly transferred to my new Microsoft Surface Laptop within 90 minutes and when finished, nothing changed. I got my old favorite desktop back operating on a new Windows 11 laptop and I lived happily ever after! Do it now!!

Might work for you

I ordered this to transfer my applications to a new PC. Unfortunately PC Mover only moves to the same drive between computers. i.e. C drive to C drive. I wanted most of my applications moved to the D drive on my new PC. It will not do that.

I have used this line of products over the years, even from when the transfer was over a serial port, but the move was always C to C.

If that is your intention then get it. Get the version with the network cable or have both PCs on the same router. You will not be disappointed. It is a good solid product just happened to not fit my requirements.
