This is the second one I have ordered in the last few years as the licence had expired on the first one.
The software appears difficult to use at first because the instructions are not as clear as they should be, but once I got the hang of it it was a joy to use. I have re-installed my media PC several times (due to driver issues following some operating system updates) and this software meant that I could just return all the software onto the fresh install without the endless hours of re-installation, product keys and updates. In a few hours I was up and running again.
Get this particular package from Amazon as it is better value than ones sold with one licence for a lot more money from other sites.
I have taken one star off as I think that a lot more effort can be put into making the instruction clearer

I bought a new desktop PC (upgrading from Vista to 7)but not a new screen and my wireless internet is connected through my ethernet cable.
I tansferred as much as I could to an external hard drive and made sure that any programs would run from that location.
The software assumes you have access to a screen for both PC's AND internet access for your old PC at the same time, or access to a third PC connected to the internet(to get the latest updates for the software on each PC and verify the key on the old PC). My software came with an ethernet cable so what with switching between screen and ethernet cables it was a pain.The cable switching takes place half way through the set-up wizard.
I finally got it going and after over 2 hours of transferring to the 'moving van' it crashed and produced an error report. In the list of stuff to transfer I did not see anything that either a) I had not transferred to my external hard drive or b) I could not live without or was covered by Windows 7.
I then tried the external hard drive route. It does not give you an option as to where to create the file but it creates a desktop shortcut on the old PC for the stuff to be transferred. After another 2 hours of transfer, when I click on the link it cannot find the path.
This may be ok for 2 laptops ( both with internet access and where you can see both screens) but for desktops I would not give it house room.
For an activity that must be undertaken by millions of people it is amazing MS or someone else has not come up with a product to do this. Or maybe we should be able to take the hard drive out of the old PC and put it in the new one and go from there.
On that thinking I have got 2 hard drives on my new PC and anything that I add will be going on the second drive with the operating system and neccessary programmes etc on the first drive.
If you buy an external hard drive at least you will still have the use of it after migration.
However transferring old mail and contacts to Windows Live Mail and running internet videos on x64 are other problem topics that I had better not get started on. Laplink PC Mover Ultimate, 3 Licenses (PC)

I chose this piece of equipment to help me set up a new computer. To an extent it worked but did not transfer all the information I wanted, which left me with a nasty problem of not being able to open and respond to emails. For someone who needs help it probably would not do the job required, but if you are well versed in computer technology it would be good help. I probably would think twice about recommending anyone to buy the Laplink PC Mover unless they were experts.

it worked very well, although it might have gone faster if I'd used the supplied cable instead of my home network, which is temperamental. Everything I needed was transferred to my new computer, it advised what would not be transferred due to compatibility issues, and I had to install some programmes on the new computer, including email, but everything was there when I finished. I would use it again if needed.

From reading the product description I thought I could easily select specific folders, files and programmes to move from an old PC on XP to a new PC on Windows 7, but it wasn't the case. It was difficult to really follow what it was proposing to move and with a risk of messing up what was already supplied with my new computer I took the cautious route and gave up. I set up a network instead and transferred the folders and files I wanted through the router and will reload the few programmes I want to keep. Besides, Windows 7 has its own 'move' facility, but this isn't really clear on what is going to be moved either.

This software promises much but fails to deliver. It failed to even communicate with the PC's I wished to transfer data and programs between and the technical support response was slow and completely inadequate. The transfer cable supplied is not a USB type, but a networking cable which is not a good option, just a very cheap one. Frankly, in my experience and in my opinion, this product is rubbish and a rip- off. It is vastly more likely not to work than to enable successful data transfer, let alone transfer software requiring product or licence keys, will be slow at best and likely to hang. Steer well clear is my advice.

As received this product does not load on Win7 64 bit system. OK on 32 bit XP.
Load on XP and register then download the latest version (85Mb approx) from the Laplink support page. Remove the original version and install downloaded version on both old PC (32 bit XP) and new Win 7 (64 bit). Run on both machines and closely follow on screen instructions.
Failure to follow above will result in a high degree of frustration as the doc in the box is useless as it describes V 5 (as is on the CD) but what you need is V 7 (download). There is absolutely nothing in the package to advise on any of this.

A steal at this price; but, IMPORTANT,not for the beginner; but once you've sorted out the transfer method, works a treat. It found my wireless Network and did what it says on the box.
