Laplink PCmover Ultimate 11 - Migration of your Applications, Files and Settings from an Old PC to a New PC - Data Transfer Software - With Optional High Speed Ethernet Cable - 1 License

First off, I am not a computer pro. Far from it. I'm a former radio "Talk Show Host" from a 50,000-watt clear-channel radio station in the Midwest. Since leaving radio, I developed a weekly podcast which was recorded on my Dell "All-in-One" System 10 computer. That computer had everything on it and was my "Lifeblood." But I knew I needed a System 11 with more RAM and storage, and the thought of transferring the data from one platform to another was a nightmare in waiting. I considered taking my old Dell and replacement Dell to a computer shop to let them handle the data transfer, but time and expense became an issue. My next thought was finding a program that might do the job in my studio, and that brought me to Amazon. After reviewing all the available programs and computer tools, I settled on PC Mover because I was familiar with its name and reputation. But I was still unsure of my ability to make the program work. However, I purchased the "Ethernet" version and prayed for the best. It turned out that the box contained everything I needed, and I could actually read and understand the directions. The built-in prompts were extremely helpful in the set-up. The Ethernet transfer cable was even included which saved me even more money. Once I downloaded the software from PC Mover, I started the transfer. All in all, it took about 9-hours for the transfer to complete, but when it was done, virtually everything on my System 10 Dell was now on my new System 11 Dell. You should have seen the grin on my face when I realized that the PC Mover did exactly what it promised to do. I'm writing this review as my way of informing others with the identical problem that the PC Mover software bundle was worth even dime. If you need to transfer data, I highly recommend PC Mover as your most cost effective and convenient option. It was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time.

I worked in IT for decades as a System Analyst. This PC Mover app performed perfectly for me to move from a 6 year old Windows 10 HP All-In-One desktop to my brand new Windows 11 HP All-In-One desktop. I didn't think it was going to work as well as it did, thoroughly pleased! I have and will continue to recommend this product to everyone I hear needs to migrate from one PC to a newer PC.•Additionally as I prepared to undertake the transfer, I used the CHAT option to learn certain things I needed to do in the proper order. Every time I hit the CHAT request (any time of day) BOOM, someone was available to immediately give me the needed answer! Loved that!!

I used this software to transfer nearly half a GB of files and apps from an 8 year old Windows 10 computer to a new Windows 11 computer. Using the Laplink ethernet cable the transfer time was less than 3 hours. For the most part, the transfer worked amazingly well, and I do recommend this software. I had a lot of apps installed on the older computer and it would have taken a huge amount of time to download and install each app individually on my new computer.I'd give this software a 5 star rating except for one thing. The old computer had over a thousand document files that it did not transfer to the new computer. What's worse, there were no error messages or warnings.Here's how I discovered this problem. As I began using the new computer I noticed that an Excel file I needed to revised was missing. I located the file in a folder on the old computer but it was not on the new computer. Comparing the number of files on each computer, I discovered that nearly 3% ( (around 1200 of about 35,000 files) of my document files were not installed on the new computer.I tried repeating the transfer, but it made no difference. The files simply didn't transfer. Laplink technical support (by chat) was unable to explain the reason some files didn't transfer. They kept asking me to try the transfer again, which didn't help. I wound up sending technical support a transfer log file, but that didn't lead to a solution. Working by chat and email was slow, so I tried the phone support number. My calls to the support phone line simply went to voice mail, so be aware that the phone support is weak. I finally got a support call scheduled for three days in the future.But in the mean time, I asked an IT professional to help me figure out the problem. He discovered that all the missing files had one thing in common. They were encrypted on the old computer. He unencrypted all the document files on the old computer and then we transferred them to the new computer using a USB drive. Problem solved!I'm very surprised that the Laplink software totally ignored the encrypted document files. There should have been some instructions or warnings to deal with this situation. I'm also surprised that Laplink technical support didn't realize that encrypted files could be the cause of the problem, focusing instead on anti-virus software as a potential cause.I hope that this review will help others who may encounter this problem. And I sincerely hope that Laplink support will read this review and add this information to their technical support training manual.

I used this to migrate from an old PC to my new one (windows 10 to windows 11). The process was very easy and the software guided me through it with no major issues. I forgot the details, but I did have a couple questions as I went through the process and the support provided was great. I did this migration several months ago and everything was successfully migrated to my new PC. I recently decided to erase the old PC since I was comfortable there was nothing on it I still needed. The erase program was easy to use. So I have completed the whole cycle and I would not hesitate to recommend this program.
