3 tools for an easy PC migration experience

Written by Amanda Marcus | August 27, 2015 at 5:46 AM

Prior to transferring your entire PC’s files, settings, users, and applications from one PC to a new one, you’ll want to explore three tools that will make the entire process faster, easier, and stress-free.

Here are three tools from Laplink Software that we suggest to make your PC migration experience simple:

1. Back up everything before you start transferring with Laplink DiskImage

DiskImage saves a mirror copy (image) of your entire hard drive to an external media device, protecting against unforeseen data loss due to corrupted systems, viruses, hackers or other malware. DiskImage is the best tool for backing up your PC’s files, settings, and applications. With it, you can schedule regular back-ups in the background without compromising your computer’s performance. Buy it here.

2. Connect your PCs to transfer with the Easy Transfer Cable for Windows

The Easy Transfer Cable for Windows is the fastest tool to connect two PCs and transfer the files, settings, and user profiles from an old PC to a new PC. It’s the best solution for someone with a slow network connection, or without any network at all.

No other “easy transfer cable” works with Windows 10. Laplink’s Easy Transfer Cable supports data migrations PC to PC for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8/8.1 and 10 computers.

The Easy Transfer Cable from Laplink speeds up the transfer when moving huge amounts of data to a new PC. It doesn’t leave anything behind, and it will not delete anything on the PCs. This cable makes a PC to PC data transfer quick and easy. Buy it from Laplink here.

3. Use PCmover Professional to complete the transfer
