Laplink PCmover Ultimate with Laplink SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Cable

The easiest way to move into a new PC

PCmover automatically transfers applications, files, settings, and user profiles from an old PC to a new one! It’s the easiest way to move to a new PC without leaving anything behind, even when there are different versions of Windows on the old and new PC. Nothing is changed on the old PC and nothing is overwritten on the new PC.

• PCmover Ultimate also includes Laplink SafeErase and a Laplink SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable.
• Use SafeErase to permanently erase your sensitive and confidential data before recycling or selling your old PC.
• Microsoft’s Windows 10 no longer includes Windows Easy Transfer, making PCmover the critical solution for saving you time in setup.
• Laplink’s PCmover is Microsoft’s and Intel's recommended migration solution.

To use PCmover, simply install it on both your old and new Windows computers, and follow the easy-to-use wizard. When the transfer is complete, your new PC will have the personality and functionality of your old one. Because most transferred applications are installed ready-to-use on the new PC, there’s usually no need to find old CDs or previously downloaded applications, serial numbers, or license codes.

Customer questions & answers

Question:

On laplink pcmover, what does "1 use" mean?

Answer:

Licensing works as follows, 1 license is good for one source PC

to one target PC or if you’re transferring from a Hard drive directly

then it would be per 1 target PC. You can transfer as many times as

needed to make sure your data is moved over completely and if something

you didn’t want is transferred then you can use the undo feature to

remove whatever was transferred in the most recent attempt.

Note: Licenses cannot be deactivated for use on other computers. For

multiple licenses or serial number resets due to errors please contact

Laplink Customer Service at Laplink.com/chat

Thanks!

Question:

Does this move programs?

Answer:

It does move programs and all files; except, things like some

printer programs, Super Anti-Spyware, etc. It did copy System Mechanic,

Webroot, and all programs - except: if there is a trial version of a

program on the new computer and you are trying to copy a version of the

same program from the old computer. You had to delete any trial version

on the new computer first; before trying to copy a version of the same

program from the old computer. If you buy the program make sure you

print the 22 page Users' manual from the disk menu before trying

anything. The small short instructions inside the box doesn't describe

all the steps that are necessary.

By Robert W. Carter on March 16, 2018

Yes, this moves programs as well as data files.

By Jim S on March 16, 2018

IT does move programs. I eventually got all my programs but

one (photoshop cs5) onto my new laptop. I did end up having to use

customer support which cost $99. Cheaper than buying my programs again,

but not particularly cheap.

By Richard G on March 17, 2018

Question:

Will it move files and programs from a win10 computer to another win 10 computer with a ssd hard drive?

Answer:

Yes it did goo00d. From windows 7 to windows 10

By james on February 22, 2018

Yes it will. Note: if you don't want (due to limited space) your

Documents (or Videos, Music, etc.) to end up on your sdd, Windows

allows you to select another place to store the data (ex: click on

Properties for Documents and in the Location tab choose where you want

the data - ie, a "Documents" folder you created on your hard drive).

Question:

After the transfer, will the old desktop / laptop still functional for a period of time?

Answer:

The old/source desktop/laptop will not be changed by the transfer to the new/destination PC with PCmover.

By Laplink Customer Service

on March 22, 2018

Yes, your files will still be on your old computer. Use the

USB cable to do the transfer. WiFi will keep timing out and the

ethernet cable is too slow, will also time out.

By GabeN on March 22, 2018

Yes. If you don't erase the files the old computer. will still function as usual.

By Larry Hickernell on March 22, 2018

Absolutely. Nothing changes with the old computer.

By Jerry H Dolchin on March 22, 2018

Unless you use an erase program, all of your files/programs

will still be on your old machine as well as copied onto your new one.

By Dr. Susan Garment on March 22, 2018

yes it will. After 2 hrs trying to move data to new computer I

finally said either give me my money back or get someone on the phone

that knows what they are doing. They then took control of both computers

and did the whole thing which took several hours. I finally googled how

to clean the old one which said do a syst…

Question:

Will it work to transfer from windows 10 to windows 10.

Answer:

Yes. I recently did this between two Dell laptops both running Windows 10.

By Greg Stuart on April 24, 2018

Question:

When transferring to a new computer will Microsoft Office Pro 2010 work on both computers?

Answer:

Generally it will move Office, though you may find you have to

play with some settings on the new machine after the transfer. --

particularly on Outlook.

By Eli62 on November 24, 2019

Question:

how does it work with a hybrid hard drive + ssd?

Answer:

Absolutely, you can have as many drives of any type with

PCmover. Just make sure to view the path's of your largest folders (you

will see this in the customize screen), you want to send as many files

(not programs) to the larger drive whenever possible. If you have 1 SSD

and 1 Hybrid in the new PC, prioritize applicati…

By Laplink Software Inc.

Seller

on August 1, 2018

It will treat each hard drive as a separate transfer. So if

you bought the version that only allows 1 transfer you will only be

allowed to transfer the data and programs from 1 of your drives. I

suggest calling their support line to see if they will allow you to

transfer both drives under 1 license.

By J. R. Malone on August 1, 2018

Question:

Is this a one time license for the transfer or does

it refer to one time continuous transfer? My old computer overheats

quickly and is shut down by Wi

Answer:

I refer you to the LapLink Tech Support line at

1-866-624-0834. Tech Support is in the Phillipines so make sure the

call doesn't cost too much; otherwise, you can refer your question to

the LapLink website.

By Robert W. Carter on April 14, 2018

You can transfer as many times as you want, just on two computers. That means the to and from set, not two independent ones.

By D. Cohen on April 14, 2018

I didn't try it a second time, "BUT", I assumed it would

transfer my program files, that didn't work and it's what I expected the

program to do. I still had to reload all my "old" programs. You can

probable accomplish the same by just transferring files. I know this

does not solve your overheating problem, but at least you may be able to

transfer some of your personal files. Hope this helped.

By Michael R. on April 14, 2018

Question:

Does the software need to be loaded on both laptops to begin the transfer?

Answer:

Yes it has to be loaded on both laptops but it never worked

for me so who knows. I wound up doing it manually and it was much faster

and it worked

By Howard on August 24, 2019

Don’t recall. What I do recall is it was easy and worked perfectly.

Question:

Will it work with an old laptop with windows 7 to a new laptop with windows 10?

Answer:

Thank you for your interest with PCmover Pro. Yes, it will work

on moving the data and programs. Please note that some programs will not

be moved due to compatibility issues nor the software can make it

compatible. This normally happens when moving from a 32 bit to 64 bit

machine. Some Applications may require re-entry…

I can't answer this question as I was going from Windows 10 to Windows 10.

By Gerbold Higlinger on February 16, 2019

Short answer is Yes. I upgraded from a several years old ASUS laptop running Win7 to a new Microsoft Surface Pro 7.

By STScott on March 29, 2020

I'm not sure. The software says the PC that is receiving the files has to be the same or newer version of the operating system.

By David McSpadden on February 15, 2019

Yes

By Richard McClintock on February 15, 2019

Question:

"You also need to make sure both computers are running the same version of Windows".Is this correct?

Answer:

This product was difficult to run had a hard time with it but

you do not need both versions of windows to run this job.. Study the

process carefully before moving forward, like I said I had problems with

it but that does not mean you will, good luck.

By John E. Jablonski on January 17, 2021

Hi Super Dave,

PCmover is designed to migrate from an older version of Windows to

the Newest one. It can migrate from the same version of Windows as well.

It is imperative that the new machine has done Windows update before

the migration.

By Laplink Software Inc.

on January 17, 2021

I believe so. But their customer support and lead you through it. I had windows 10 on both computers so it was not a problem.

By WWR on January 17, 2021

Yes. Both computers must be running the same version of Windows.

By Don on January 17, 2021

I had Win 7 on the old machine and Win 10 on the new.

By Dr. Christopher Kent on January 16, 2021

Question:

How quickly (in minutes) does it take to transfer the full contents of the old drive to the new drive?

Answer:

This will vary based on a few factors, the main being the write

speed of your slowest hard drive. Your new PC might be $10,000, but it's

only going to move data as fast as your old PC will let it. You then

also have the different connection types, ranging from Wi-Fi, Ethernet,

external storage or our Laplink USB 3 cabl…

By Laplink Customer Service

on August 2, 2018

It depends on how much you’re moving and the speed of both your

connection and your hard disks. If you’re moving tens or hundreds of

gigabytes, my recommendation is to use Laplink only to move apps from

the old machine to the new one, because moving all the data can take

hours. Moving only the apps will be relatively…

By Eli62 on November 24, 2019

We couldn't get it to connect to both computers correctly. I had

to call the tech support and let them take over the transfer remotely.

While you are on the phone with them during the process they will

recommend a system scan for the transfer to work correctly. I had read

in other reviews that they do this. I let them…
