Product Details of Laplink PCmover - Complete Product - 2 Computer
Description
Imagine a quick and easy way to move all of your applications, settings, and data files from your old PC to your new PC while keeping all the new software intact. That's PCmover. PCmover lets you move all of your applications, data files, and even registry settings to another PC, and even from old operating systems to newer ones! Simply install PCmover on both computers and go! PCmover will determine what files and settings need to be moved. You don't even have to tell PCmover which applications to move or know the location of your programs or files. Or, if you prefer, customize exactly what will be transferred. With the PCmover Wizard, your transfer is accomplished with just a few clicks. When the transfer is complete, you are ready to use your new computer with all of its pre-installed software as well as your familiar applications, data files, and settings. PCmover does not overwrite the new system like a cloning or imaging utility does and it does not change the old PC in any way. PCmover only transfers and merges entries from the old PC into the new PC.

Good Quality software
Strengths: Does what it says
Weakness: My copy only had a USB 1.1 cable included
After the initial setup, the step by step directions walk you right through the PCmover process. The directions were easy to follow, and the old Windows 2000 machine worked to transfer all of its data to the new Windows XP SP3 machine. everything transferred to perfection, except for the McAfee virus software, which I then reinstalled on the new machine. The only complaint that I have is that the...
Complete Garbage!! Do not waste your time with...
Strengths: None that I can see -- maybe it can move data?
Weakness: Can't move applications like they claim.
I wanted a quick and easy way to move all my data and applications to my new laptop. PCMover installed and seemed to work. However once the transfer was complete, the applications on the new computer started crashing intermittently. PCMover made a mess out of a new laptop so now I have to load the operating system from scratch and reload all the applications and data the old fashioned way. I have...
PCmover
Strengths: Good program does what it says.Very easy to use.
Weakness: Can only use one time.
Product works great and is very easy to use. It also takes about 4 hours to move 15 gig using the usb cable.The only drawback is that you can only use it one time before having to buy another registration.
Before you buy, know this
Strengths: Moves specified files/folders/applications
Weakness: Comes with a single license and can only be used between the 1st two PC's they're installed on.
The instructions were straight forward. Install the software on both PC's (old & new,) connect the included Laplink USB cable, run the program on both machines, select the files/folder/applications that you want to move; hour and a half later, everything was transfered. This was done between two Dells (old leased one and a new purchased one) both running XP Pro 32bit. At the date of posting this,...
PCMover is a good product !
Strengths: Ease of use. Effective tool for the moving of data from one PC to another.
Weakness: None that I am aware of, except that you will need to think before you start...
I have seen so many negative reviews about this product that I have decided to write my own, which I usually do not do. I have used this product two times over the past few years, i.e. whenever I got a new company notebook PC or a new desktop PC. Previously, I had to back up all my data on the company server, chase the support guys for original software CDs and soft keys, etc. etc., only to note...
PCMover Version 2.00.1.583 from Laplink.
Strengths: Absolutely none. Avoid. I would rate this product with less than zero stars. You would have to pay me to use this software again. Caveat Emptor!
Weakness: Does not work. The value of my time spent messing with this non-functional "software", far exceeds the money wasted on purchasing this "software". Avoid! Their support,IMHO, was risky!
DON'T waste your money and time on this product. I am a computer professional with 30 years experience including operating systems internals and Windows programming and have moved/cloned other systems manually or using aloha-bob, without incident. Unfortunately, aloha-bob is no longer available. I needed to move my "at work" workstation to a new system so I thought I would give this software a...
PCMover
Strengths: So far I do not see any strengths. I could not even get PcMover installed on my old computer. In fact, Laplink could not get it installed on my computer.
Weakness: It is really too bad when the support at Laplink can not get the program installed.
I bought this program from Dell when I purchased a new computer. It installed on the new computer; however, we could never get PcMover installed on the old computer. After around 8 hours I gave up. Don't buy this product unless there are programs on the old computer that you absolutely cannot reload. Good Luck - I hope yours works.
PC mover
Strengths: Quick install, comes with an USB cable at no cost.
Weakness: Poor documentation. Hard to get the USB cable to be seen properly. Not all applications moved over work and will need to be re-loaded.
The quick start guide does not give you any info on the use and installation of the USB cable. I finally got the new computer to see the cable but never the old one. I finally used an old Laplink parrallel cable I had. The process errored out during the first run and completed when re-started. Over-all this took about 12 hours. Data came over well, and after going through an install process a few...
Laplink PCmover - Complete Product - 2 Computer
Strengths: None
Weakness: Poor documentation
Purchased the downloadable version and found I needed a proprietory cable. Attempted to cancel the order and get a refund. Told by Laplink rep that the order was not refundable. Complicated and vague instructions. CAVEAT EMPTOR.

Unfinished product
Strengths: Can do most of the tasks claimed, given lots of time
Weakness: Took 36 hours to move about 192 GB from old to new. Had to restart many times due to hanging.
Network transfer with 1 GB Ethernet cards at each end and CAT 6 cabling. Old PC running Win 7 Ultimate Takes far too long to index and catalog files. Many applications not moved. email passwords not moved. New PC had Win 7 home OEM from Acer, and still running Win 7 Home after transfer. Most software validation keys were nopt transferred, so must reactivate. Extremely time consuming, especially...
