PCmover with Selectivity, Including Laplink USB 1.1 Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Laplink PC Mover Moving Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We recently had to upgrade the main computer used by our family, and I was dreading it. We have several user accounts, with hundreds of gigs of data and more applications installed than I can count (many of which were installed so long ago that I'm not even sure that we still have the media.)
Besides that, the new computer came with Vista, so we we were doing an upgrade from XP at the same time (note: if you're using Vista make sure to get the newly-released version of PCmover so that it supports it.)
I was completely impressed by the way that this utility handled the transfer. It was simple to use, and went without a hitch. There were only handful of programs that needed minor tweaking afterwards because either their licensing or their configurations depended on the specific system - all of these were ironed out quickly and everything is running beautifully.
A recommendation... I would recommend "grooming" the old computer a bit before the move: 1) uninstall any applications and remove any data that you don't want moved, since you can't pick and chose during the move. 2) If you're moving to a new OS, upgrade your applications on the old computer to the latest version beforehand. It's easier to handle this separately from any cleanup you may need after the move.
