Laplink PCmover Ultimate 10 with USB 3.0 Transfer Cable - 1 Use

I used PC Mover previously on my own personal laptop and I just used it to transfer everything from parent's desktop to their new laptop using the USB cable. It worked great and saved me a huge amount of time and effort. All data, programs (that were compatible), and user settings were transferred over in about 2 hours.

This is a terrible product. I have spent hours trying to get it to work and was consistently getting error messages. I even tied to transfer the data via a external hard drive. It only transferred some of the files. Would not move over MS Office as advertised. In fact my new computer is so messed up now, I'm going have to delete everything and start over. Would have been easier to just do it the old fashion way. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PILE OF ,,,, Microsoft should be ashamed to support this. Update. had to have the new computer repaired, now no license, so not able to transfer anything. DO NOT BUY THIS WORTHLESS SOFTWARE

Transfer corrupted files keyboard would not function.

Good for 1 use, make sure you aware of this, as I had hoped to use this product on a couple of my older computers to transfer to new ones. NO GO.It does work, so if you only need it one time?

A little tricky to get both computers connected and talking to each other but other than that initial frustration, the program worked like a charm.

This actually worked as advertised! Connect two machines after installing the software on each, and then answer a few questions about which programs, files, setting, etc you want transferred, start the process and go away. It does not require babysitting.Several hours later you have your old computer in your new computer.Be sure to use the included cable. Note that you can use the same cable and buy additional licenses if you want to update several machines.

This is a terrible product, with terrible customer service, and it is shocking that Microsoft endorses it. Not only does the product not perform as advertised, but their "Free Transfer Assistance" program, which one MUST use because the product is so bad, is merely a scheme to SELL unwanted and unneeded services. [This FTA gives Laplink total control over your computers!] I was attempting to transfer programs, files, and data from an impeccably-maintained Windows 10 p.c. to a brand-new Windows 10 p.c. I am a very experienced software person, who has been working with computers since 1965. Microsoft used to provide a built-in transfer system, but that has been eliminated in Windows 10 (thank you, Microsoft, NOT!) Thus, one has to buy a 3rd-party package. It is not practical to do this process manually. Specialized software is required. The two leading contenders are Zinstall and Laplink, and only Laplink is endorsed by Microsoft. Zinstall is also twice as expensive. I chose Laplink due to the Microsoft endorsement, and that was a grievous error.

It took 5 techs. and finally got program files moved. Had to do a file transfer file. IT still took 8 hours and no documents (word files) were transfered had do that with a flash drive.
