To use PCmover, simply install it on both your old and new Windows computers, and follow the easy-to-use wizard. When the transfer is complete, your new PC will have the personality and functionality of your old one. Because most transferred applications are installed ready-to-use on the new PC, there's usually no need to find old CDs or previously downloaded applications, serial numbers, or license codes. A single purchase of PCmover provides one license to migrate from one source to one destination computer - with as many attempts needed. Additional computers will require an additional license(s).

PC Mover comes with a lot of promises but does not deliver. The product is advertised to easily move files from one computer to another. The problem is that they do not tell you about the potential problems that are very likely to arise. If you have an older computer and want to move files, more than likely your old system has some problems. Those problems have to be fixed before PC Mover will work. I called their customer service and spent an hour letting them view the files of my old and new computer. After an hour, I was told that there were too many problems with the old computer for PC Mover to work. Then the other shoe dropped. They could "possibly" fix the old computer for $199! And there was no promise that would work. When I said no, they wanted to pass me off to the manager who was more of a sales closer. Microsoft endorses this product and they should rethink their support. Plus Best Buy should rethink even selling this software. It is horrible.
