PCmover Express (formerly PCmover Free)

PCmover Express is a software application whose purpose is to help you transfer data from a computer to another one with the aid of a wizard-like assistant.
You need to have the utility installed on both computers before proceeding with the file transfer process. The computer’s operating system that you want to transfer data to should be the same or newer than the version on the old computer.

Installation and configuration wizard

The tool comes deployed in a large package so the downloading process may take a while. The installation is smooth but you should pay extra attention as the program offers for deployment several third-party applications that have nothing to do with its functionality.
PCmover Express employs a wizard-like interface which offers less experienced users step-by-step assistance throughout the entire configuration process.

Configuration settings

The application gives you the possibility to select the computer that you want to set up (old or new) and choose your connection method for file transfer, namely Wi-Fi, Laplink Ethernet Cable, or Laplink USB cable.
During the task you are given details about the stage, action, processed items, as well as elapsed time. At the end of the file transfer, you can make PCmover Express send a notification via email. The tool is capable of moving programs’ settings and functionality on the new computer without leaving anything behind.

Bottom line

All in all, PCmover Express comes with a basic suite of features for helping you migrate data from a logged-on user on one computer to the logged-on user of the new PC. Advanced functions, such as support for multiple users and hard drives, tool and folder selection, undo options, restoring data from an image file, can be found in PCmover Professional.
