Laplink PCmover Ultimate 11 with Ultra-High-Speed Thunderbolt™ Transfer Cable - 1 Use

I used this to transfer data from a Mac Pro to prep a new hard disk, and found that LapLink works fine. LapLink made it easy - as without it Id have to backup manually and transfer the data via CDs. So this works great for me. I plan to use it on my familys Windows machines too. Id recommend it!

There was a time that Microsoft included a PC to PC transfer application, but without that it becomes difficult to transfer everything from an older PC to a newer PC. This software is very helpful for that, and I have used another version of this same transfer software from this company in the past as well. This version with the thunderbolt cable is best because it speeds it up considerably, as the transfer is quite slow over Wi-Fi, but this cable speeds it up. This is my preferred way to transfer everything from an old PC to a new PC, as long as Microsoft does not include a native transfer application.

Excellent tool for changing PCs.

I ordered this mainly as a convenience and because Ive used this product in the past and was pleased with the results. There used to be a feature built into windows that helped to tansfer files and setting from an old PC to a new one but for whatever reason that doesnt exist. There are ways to manually transfer things over but its slow and time consuming and very hands on. it also requires a level of computer knowledge that many dont have. While I dont like having to pay extra to transfer important files and setting Im busy enough that its worth the convenience of being able to set it and forget it and trust this program to take care of the rest. That way I can spend my time elsewhere and come back to a finished job. Another nice feature is that this program can identify certain things that might cause problems and tell you how to fix that before it even happens (see the images posted in this review). A word of warningpeople that have been using a computer for some time are used to recieving a CD or DVD with the program they bought on it. Many computers these days dont have drives for reading CDs or DVDs anymore so instead there are instructions with information on how to download the program. please read the instructions in the box carefully to avoid confusion or problems.

Ive been using PC Mover for years and years to transfer customers from an old computer to a new one. It really shows its value when the old computer is a different operating system than the new one. It will cleanly transfer all of their data and most of their programs, although sifting through the stuff they have installed over the years can get tedious. Ive also had issues with Office licensing after the transfer.

Pros:
