Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

Strengths: Simple to install, made the transition to a new PC a lot less work than I'd anticipated.

Weaknesses:Have to buy a new license every time you want to use the product - but then again you probably will only use it once every few years.

Overall Evaluation: I bought this product last week after listening to a Computer Outlook radio broadcast that was really pushing PCmover. The host was raving about what a great job it did of moving applications from one PC to another - something I hadn't realised you could even do without uninstalling and reinstalling the software on the new machine. I used the software to move from my old PC (running Windows ME) to a new Dell Inspiron Notebook. All the programs transferred over - as did my emails and files. The only thing that failed to migrate were my son's iTunes - but I had expected that, seeing as they were digital rights protected. I sued the USB 1.1 cable that Laplink included, and the entire migration took just under 5 hours. (Time I didn't have to spend sitting in front of the PCs). Overall, a great product that did what it said.

Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

Strengths: Does what it says

Weaknesses:My copy only had a USB 1.1 cable included

Overall Evaluation: 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 package I got had a USB transfer cable that was USB 1.1 compliant, so the transfer took longer than I thought that it should have.

Duration of ownership: 3 Days

Strengths: None that I can see -- maybe it can move data?

Weaknesses:Can't move applications like they claim.

Overall Evaluation: 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 never written a review for a product but I wanted to warn as many people as possible. This software is not ready for prime time!!!!

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Good program does what it says.Very easy to use.

Weaknesses:Can only use one time.

Overall Evaluation: 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.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Moves specified files/folders/applications

Weaknesses:Comes with a single license and can only be used between the 1st two PC's they're installed on.

Overall Evaluation: 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, I have not found another utility that allows you to select what files/folders/apps to move. All the other ones can only move EVERYTHING which is ridiculous if you're going from something old with older versions to something new with the most recent versions already installed. For example: your old computer has Office 2003 and your new computer has Office 2007. Hands down, this one beats the competition. My only gripe is that buying this utility is only good between the initial 1st two PCs/Laptops that you transfer between. You have to buy additional licenses or another retail box. When I spoke with tech support at laplink, they suggested buying Laplink PCmover Network Edition to save some money. Note-if you don't have a network established, you will need a laplink usb cable.
