Of course we weren’t about to give up just yet, though, and decided to proceed on our own. When we called, within 20 seconds were talking to a helpful guy who appeared more than capable of solving any problems which might arise. Customers in the US, Canada, UK and Australia can call toll-free numbers and talk to a technician who will either answer technical queries on the process, or take remote control of the program and essentially do the work for you.Īnd while we wondered if the number would be permanently engaged, or have other problems, the reality seems very different. If you’re not sure about any of this, then there’s no doubt that Laplink go out of their way to help.
Install and run a copy of PCmover on both systems and it’ll walk you through the migration process. The most common method is probably to connect both your old and new PCs together, though, either directly (using custom Laplink cables) or having them on the same network. PCmover’s Image & Drive Assistant will update a new PC with the files, applications and settings from a disk image or hard drive containing your old system. If you’re just performing an in-place upgrade on a single PC, for instance, the program’s Windows Upgrade Assistant allows you to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8, before automatically restoring your applications, settings and data.
PCmover Professional 8 supports several migration scenarios.
