- Perfect Solution
I tried this with a little trepidation both as I was moving up to Vista and had heard scary comments about it and also some of the comments on here which were less than optimistic. I was not helped because initially i only used on monitor and one internet connection!

Still, that all being said, this product worked exactly and I mean exactly as it said on the box, with only a little bitty leaflet to tell you what to do. I shifted 90GB (yes, really, bearing in mind that it compacts the files by around 50% as it loads it (quirkily!) into the 'removal van', unpacking at the arrival end) by setting it going overnight. When I came down in the morning it was done, with my new PC showing the desktop picture that previously was on the old ... Read More:

- Saved a lot of time and trouble
We were moving from an XP box to a new Vista PC. The instructions were clear and concise. The limitations of the product are also clearly stated - you may need to reactivate some licence keys on the new box, and don't expect device drivers to come over.

Bearing these limitations in mind, I will state that the programme did what is said on the tin for us - user accounts, passwords, personal profiles, programmes, document folders and structures, all came across neatly, including desktop wallpapers! We are reactivating licence keys as necessary, this is not too much trouble, and have installed printers, digicams etc on the new machine.

It took about 4 hours in total including the installation process - about 3h30 to transfer ... Read More:

- Beware! Not compatible with 64-bit version of Vista
It does not work with the 64-bit version of Vista. It does not clearly state this either on the Amazon description nor on the product box itself. Since complaining to the makers Laplink, I see they have now added this warning on their own website.

- Not very good at all
I have an absolutely standard Win XP system..Dell. I used PC Mover and basically it appeared to work ok but almost everything I tried to do on the new PC was fraught with gremlins of one sort or another. Could not get the PC to work when selecting Restart (had done previously). Kept losing connection to the Internt via Broadband: in parallel had the old PC online and it was fine. Internet Explorer opened two instances and they got really messed up, etc etc etc. I am quite PC literate but this one defeated me. SO I took the option of backing it all out. The PC is now working fine, all of the above problems and others are resolved.
Basically I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

- Did exactly what it promised on the box.
I read the review on this site and a number of other adverse reviews and thought long and hard about using this. However, one technical review said that so long as you are careful to follow the instructions to the letter, it works fine.

I was transferring from an XP laptop to Vista.

I started by doing a thorough clean up of the XP computer. I chucked out all the Apps I never use and ran a cleanup and a virus check on all the rest. I used Quick Clean to get rid of all excess junk, leftovers, double entries etc. I also ran a registry clean up. When I was sure that I had done all that I could, I gave the whole machine an exhaustive defrag with a specialist programme.

Next, I did the same for the Vista Computer. As ... Read More:
