Summary: Not Recommended
Comment: I thought that this product would handle the movement of my files and programs from my old to my new computer. I read the reviews and saw the problems with the USB 1.1 cable, but I thought that it was finally upgraded to a 2.0 cable. It wasn't, so I used the LAN connection and the movement took FOREVER! While most programs were moved correctly, some were not and had to be reinstalled. If I had to do it over again, I would use the transfer utility included with Vista (or at least the HP version of Vista). On a positive note, when the transfer setup failed, the support was excellent.

Summary: TERRIBLE! BEWARE!
Comment: 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.

Summary: wrong cable
Comment: I was disappointed with the customer service dept. I had the wrong cable
for the transfer. With Vista 64bit you need the orange cord. Which was not discovered by the first two customer service reps. I had to talk to management before one was sent three day UPS. PCmover with Selectivity, Including Laplink USB 2.0 Cable

Summary: PCMover - Good, but device drivers a problem
Comment: I used PCMover to move from an old laptop with XP Professional to a newer laptop with XP Professional. It did the job, for the most part. They warn that device drivers may be a problem, and they are. I had to reinstall my Verizon wireless card and my printer interface. Also be aware that you have to take some actions to get Microsoft Office to run. The Microsoft products get unhappy when they discover they are on a different machine.

Summary: PCMover Saves Time and Hassle
Comment: 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.

Did you get a new PC or are you planning to get one? Perhaps a notebook to partner with your desktop? Transfer or copy files from one to the other with PC Mover from LapLink. It's utility software you simply must have. 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. 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. Most software requires you to perform two separate migrations for two separate users - not PCmover! Save time by automatically migrating all XP users and their configurations from an old PC to a new PC in a single migration No need to wait for your new PC to arrive - you can store a copy of all your files, settings, and programs on a server, external hard drive, or even CDs or DVDs, and migrate them to the new PC or new hard drive at a later date Intel-based Mac users running Apple Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop for Mac can use PCmover to transfer files, settings and applications from their old PC to their new Mac PCmover will transfer files, settings and programs from PCs with operating systems dating back from Windows 95 right up to Windows Vista Includes USB 1.1 cable
