Software Reviews of Laplink PC Mover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant [DOWNLOAD]
Customer Review: Worked great for Vista-32->Win7-64
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been holding off on the Vista 32 to Win7 64 migration because I didn't want to spend weeks reinstalling apps and screwing with license activations. I have over 50 licensed packages on my system, and quite a few of them require a more complex activation procedure than just entering a license string. In the past I've had to call various vendors (and wait on hold to explain that I've migrated systems and I'm not pirating their software), ping a vendor site for a new code, or try and find the email containing the license info when I've forgotten to save it to my license key document.
This weekend I migrated and, other than Photoshop and my virus scanner, I haven't had to reinstall or relicense anything--even Office. Photoshop requires that you deactivate then reactivate on the new system, so that wasn't a problem, and the app itself was migrated. Virus scanners don't migrate well and the instructions strongly suggest you reinstall after migration.
Migration took about 20 minutes to prep the moving van on the old system, and about 5-1/2 hours to restore on the new system. The selective migration capability allowed me to drop a lot of crud from the old system. The instructions are very complete, with one caveat discussed below, and the program itself gives a lot of feedback as to what it's doing. It was pretty obvious to me at least that the license was for a one-shot move, which was a great deal for at $10.
Pros:
- Moved 50+ apps and licenses to new machine with zero problems
- Did this on a major OS upgrade *and* a 32-64 bit migration
- Fast--I could have maybe reinstalled 4-5 apps in the time it took to move all of them
- All of the app data came over, despite the annoying problem of apps scattering data all over the machine
- All configuration items (except the quicklauncher, and that's a Win7 issue) came over--all preferences, email account settings, etc. I clicked Outlook and it a) found the right .pst file, b) immediately began downloading email, and c) kept all of my settings. Getting the configurations for each program back to normal after reinstalls would probably have taken months.
- $10 for a full-featured one-use product
- Start and forget--it ran unattended during the restoration process
Cons:
- Stand by to repel boarders--they make no fewer than 3 attempts to force the lame "Ask" toolbar and search engine on your machine. One obvious screen with a checkbox (defaulted to on, of course) for the toolbar and one for the browser, and another screen cleverly disguised as a license agreement screen that will also load them unless you select no. I don't know, maybe the Ask thing subsidizes the $10 price, but it's fricking annoying. At least they could have tried to force something better than Ask--maybe Google or something. Minus one star for this--it's an insult to attempt to force this on us 3 times (especially with the pseudo-license screen), and it's an injury that the software they're forcing is the Ask crapware.
- The wording of the otherwise excellent documentation is a little confusing (at least for me) and I wasn't sure if the files I didn't select to migrate (I have a lot of media files on another drive) would be erased or otherwise tinkered with. They weren't. Also, there's a selection to have the files migrated out of the windows.old directory moved or copied. This shouldn't (IMHO) even be an option--it's just not safe to delete them during the migration.
Summary:
Incredibly useful product at a great price. It just works. Just read the directions carefully and fend off the crapware.
