Laplink announced today that PCmover has been selected by Microsoft as its recommended migration solution for Windows users, with a free download of PCmover Express for personal use available here.
“Microsoft looks forward to continuing our collaboration with Laplink,” said Shad Larsen, Director of Business Planning at Microsoft, in a press release. “We wanted to make it easier for customers to migrate their personal files and settings from their older Windows PC to a new Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 PC, and Laplink delivers a great solution with their PCmover Express software.”
The free offer for PCmover Express will be available on Windows.com in 18 markets beginning today and expiring August 31, 2016. The offer is available for personal, non-commercial use. It requires the destination PC to be running Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 and not joined to a domain.
Commercial users can purchase a license for PCmover Express that provides commercial use rights for about $20. While PCmover Express does not transfer applications, that functionality is provided with PCmover Professional as an available upgrade.
We previously worked with Microsoft to provide Windows users with migration software in support of Windows XP customers moving to new Windows PCs. Extending this relationship to Windows 10 was an easy decision.
We’re fully committed to this Microsoft partnership in support of all Windows users. Our latest version of PCmover makes it easier than ever for customers running Windows XP, all the way to the latest release of Windows 10, to migrate their personal files, folders, and other settings to their new PC.
We’re seeing strong demand for Windows 10 by both consumer and commercial customers. And as customers buy new Windows 10 devices, we believe they will discover Laplink’s migration solutions provide great choice and flexibility, saving time and money for consumers, SMB, and enterprises.
Transferring your personal files, folders, and other settings to a new PC can sometimes be time-consuming and difficult. But our PCmover software provides an easy-to-use solution with a wizard driven interface, allowing users to automatically transfer selected user profiles, files, and settings to a new device from an old PC. We also offer Free Transfer Assistance, providing certified experts 24/7 to assist with migrations.
For larger organizations, we offer an enterprise version of PCmover, which allows IT to manage migrations even for unmanaged PCs. Already in use by thousands of major companies and organizations, it continues to be the fastest growing enterprise migration solution.
