The Only Way to Upgrade From XP to Windows 7

If you want to upgrade your computer from XP to Windows 7 and not lose all your files and programs, you need PCmover.

No need to copy files to external media; no need to reinstall all your applications. PCmover does it all for you without any external storage, without copying files, and without having to find your old CDs and serial numbers!

There are many possible upgrade scenarios; in fact, here's a chart.

It may seem confusing, but here's the solution: PCmover Upgrade Assistant. XP to Windows 7? No problem! Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional? Yep, we do that. How about Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit? Of course!

Using PCmover to upgrade to Windows 7 is easy. First, run PCmover and follow the easy-to-use wizard. Then install Windows 7, choosing "custom" install but do not reformat. Then run PCmover again. That's it--you're done. Everything is exactly how you want it--without copying files or reinstalling programs!

This product worked as advertised. I was able to move over all my XP applications and I had no difficulties. It is critical to read the Laplink user's guide before starting this process. I have done many XP repair installs and XP fresh installs and this combination of Laplink and Windows 7 was easy compared to my past experience. Well worth the $10.00.

Works as advertised and I was up and running in a short amount of time after upgrading to Windows 7. You have to follow the PC Mover directions. It transferred 90% of my Windows XP programs to Windows 7. It'll tell you which programs that won't work well.

And they said it couldn't be done August 4, 2010

I've been working with computers since there were computers. I remember when LapLink was a simple cable and software. It was the only way to move large amounts of data from PC to PC. It worked then and they are still solving problems right when we need it. Windows 7 is great, LapLink makes the transition EASY. I'm going to be buying some new PC's for me and my wife and LapLink will be the prime tool for the move. I'm a writer so I have a lot of very special and very expensive software on my PC, not to mention the 5 terabytes of hard drive. I can move the external drives, but they are linked to software which complecates things. I trust LapLink and their software, always have, and I se no reason to change my mind now.

I placed my order on Amazon and received it 3 working days later, how can you beat that?

Requires Some Close Supervision November 3, 2009

Laplink is a company whose products go a long way back and have a history of quality and reliability. Laplinks' PC Mover is no different: it really does migrate anything and everything from one machine to another without requiring you to reinstall all your software. It is not as easy as the website and its customer testimonials promise, but if you go slowly and pay close attention to what it is doing, you will be pleasantly surprised at not having to re-unlock Microsoft Office, dig out installation CDs and DVDs, or re-register cherished DRM-infected games. PC Mover even uses the simple metaphors of "Moving Vans" and "Loading and Unloading the Moving Van" to make things easy to understand.

This listing is the boxed product of PC Mover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant: the digital download version is the same product, but nothing is shipped to you. Instead you pull it down on your computer. You may view the Digital Download version here: Laplink PC Mover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant [DOWNLOAD]

This "Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant" flavor of PC Mover is a pretty sweet deal: a lower price gets you a one-time migration to Windows 7. This can be used for upgrading one machine and putting everything back on afterwards. For every additional machine you wish to use this version of PC Mover, you will need to purchase an additional license.

My only complaint with the software is when it tries to step out of the path of what you are doing, and pull you along with it. For example, after you agree to the license and read the disclaimer and warning, you are given a link to the documentation in PDF form. This is a good diversion: it allows you one last chance to print out and/or read the manual (and I strongly advise you to do so).
The next step, however, tells you it will make [...] your default search provider and change your browser's home page to [...] (which, ha ha, you didn't ASK for, did you?). Say no, and the next step tugs at you again: this time it's showing you a license agreement. If you're not paying attention--hey, wait! Didn't I already agree to the license? Yes, you did....this is the license agreement to install the [...] toolbar and embed it in your browser. At first glance it might seem like saying no would cancel your installation of PC Mover, but it won't...say no and move on.

Just as you think you're at the end, you'll get snagged one more time: this time Laplink wants you to go look at some of its other software. It looks like a setup screen, it's in the setup wizard...but it's really just another ad. I'm a little busy trying to migrate everything that matters to me--can't you do this after we upgrade? I'm not going to install a bunch of Laplink products now, not use them, back them up, and then restore it all after the upgrade--leave me alone!

The only other point--and this is a very important one--is a bit confusing. The last step as you back things up will tell you that the program has identified X number of GigaBytes of content, and thanks to compression, the actual size of this content will probably be about half. This is their way of reminding you that on whatever drive you're going to put the content, you're going to need to have that much free space available or else you'll have a problem. PC Mover will then finish in seconds. Another confusing point: the "Moving Van" file PC Mover creates at this point is tiny--just a few MegaBytes, not the GigaBytes it just told you about. The GigaBytes referred to earlier are elsewhere; this is just a "roadmap" so the "Moving Van" doesn't get lost.

Probably the nicest thing about this program is that once you're ready to "Unload the Moving Van" it's as simple as installing the software on the new machine, pointing it at the "Moving Van" file, and waiting while it "Unloads." Reboot and you'll be amazed - it really was all there for me, unlocked, re-registered, and working like a charm.

If you want to move one machine to Windows 7, this is a good tool, but you need to be a step above "Beginner"...and you need to watch the program closely as it does its work. I guess everybody needs to make a buck, but I wish Laplink hadn't gone out of their way to mislead you into re-sponsoring it: it'd be a 5-star product if the Moving Van weren't driven by a shoddy used-car salesman hawking his wares at you along the way.
