Verdict:

If you don’t have the time or patience to setup your own applications and transfer your own files, then PCmover is a great utility for those buying a new PC.

Our Rating 4 stars out of 5

We’ll be sticking with fresh installs of Windows, installing applications and utilities by hand, and transferring our own files. However, PCmover is a very useful piece of software for those who don’t have the patience for all that. The ability to customise your migrated applications, files and user profiles is a huge boon – so at least your new PC’s hard disk will be a little tidier than your old one.

PCMover is painless

A $5.3 billion global transportation parts manufacturer just migrated 3,200 PC’s and Laptops at 30 locations in 12 weeks using LapLink’s PCMover.
All most painless. What a refreshing change.

Free migration

You may consider to use WET (windows easy transfer) and PickMeApp: two free solutions to migrate from XP to Windows 7. WET may transfer your XP program settings to Win 7 while portable PickMeApp tool may transfer programs from XP to Windows 7. PickMeApp claims to support unlimited number of programs.
