Be advised that even though Amazon sells this in a bundle with Window 7 family pack for 3 PCs, the Laplink web site states that the Upgrade Assistant is only authorized for use on one computer. In order to upgrade the three licenses in the Family Pack, you will need to purchase three copies of Laplink.

I have upgraded two of my pc’s using PCmmover without any problem. After reviewing what others had to say about the program, the only thing i can come up with as far as help is to read all instructions.

We used this software to migrate from Vista to Win 7. Both laptops were nearly the same configuration but differing data and documents. The PDF instructions are key (read the whole thing and follow it) and you must perform a full back-up before you start. The laptops both had ample space remaining on the hard drives for the settings, files and applications-also a key.

I agree with the other reviewers, our conversions took 6-7 hours as we had 40+ GB on one system and 9-10 hours on a 80+ GB system. Out of 30 or so applications, I had to re-install 4 on the other side after the mirgration. PCMover does indicate which applications it had to turn off after migration and allows you to CHOOSE which ones to try anyway. It did not copy my Firefox settings, so I had to do that manually, but it backs-up the old settings, so I just had to copy the settings file into the new configuration.

I did a third install clean and it took longer and I had install all of the applications, driver files, etc once Win 7 was completed as well as copy over all the documents & settings. This tool saves you most of that hassle.

I downloaded this program from Amazon and tried to use it to migrate my files from XP to Windows 7. You need to read the documentation on how to upgrade a single PC. The program creates a list of programs, files, and registry settings to migrate. After you install Windows 7, reinstall the program and let it migrate your stuff. For 90 percent of the programs, it works just fine.

There is apparently a good reason that his software is so steeply discounted. . . it is not worth even the $10. . . or $5 or. . . actually they should pay us (consumers) for the hassle. This product does NOT perform as described in fact, after loading up the “moving van,” i found out it didn’t have any of my stuff when i tried to unload it on the other end. . . even though it told me everything worked!! Doesn’t do anything. . . and customer support at Laplink. . . ha ha ha. . . talk to the hand. . . or in this case, the recording. Very frustrating. So, if you are still considering purchasing this, my strong recommendation is, “Don’t do it!” This product is an useless, albeit cheap, waste of time.
