PCmover Professional

PCmover Professional is the only software that can transfer your apps, data, settings, and even user profiles from an old PC to a new one, or from an old operating system to a new one. Most transferred software is already installed on the new PC, so there's no need to look for old CDs, previously downloaded programs, serial numbers, or license codes. 

PCmover Professional is a complete software package created by Laplink Software Inc. It allows users to easily transfer data, applications, and settings from an old computer to a new one. Whether you're upgrading to a new PC or replacing an old one, it's a quick and easy way to transfer everything you need for a smooth transition. 

PCmover PRO is the simplest way to repair or migrate to a new PC without losing anything, even if the old and new computers run different versions of Windows. Nothing is altered on the old PC, and nothing is overwritten on the new one. 

Applications may demand re-entering a licensing code or reactivating on the new PC. Certain system settings and applications may not be transferable because they are incompatible with the operating system on the new PC. Download now!

What You Should Know About It?

Compatibility with Older Programs: It's important to know that some programs on your old computer may not work with a newer operating system. When switching to a new PC, be prepared to deal with issues with outdated applications. 

Deactivation and Reactivation of DRM Files: Digital Rights Management (DRM) files, such as music and programs that require keys or serial numbers linked to a hardware fingerprint, may need to be deactivated on the old PC and reactivated on the new PC. Ensure that you take the necessary steps to transfer and reactivate DRM-protected content. 

Unique Copy Protection: Programs with unique copy protection techniques may need to be deactivated on the old PC before being reactivated with the original key or serial number on the new PC. If you run into any problems while deactivating and reactivating each application, contact the software manufacturer. 

End User License Agreements: It is critical to follow the end user license agreements for each application you transfer using PCmover Professional. Make sure you follow the terms and conditions set forth by the program makers. 

Removal of Trial Software: If you have a complete version of a software package on your old computer, it is best to remove any trial versions of the same software on the new one. This provides a clean and efficient installation of the licensed program. 

Antivirus and anti-spyware products are not migrated to your new PC. These programs will need to be installed and set up separately on the new machine. 

Hardware Driver Exclusion: Certain hardware drivers will not be transferred to your new PC using PCmover. Ensure that the drivers for your hardware devices are ready for installation on the new computer. 

Operating System Compatibility: This program is not designed for migrations from newer to older operating systems. It is not suggested to migrate from a PC running Windows 7 to a PC running Windows XP because it may cause system instability. 

Apply Windows upgrades: Before beginning a migration using the application, make sure to install all necessary Windows Updates, including .NET framework upgrades, on your new PC. This promotes a seamless and stable migration process. 

PCmover Professional has unique serial numbers that are incompatible with other PCmover variants. When installing and activating the program, make sure to enter the right serial number.
