# [VIDEO] PCmover® is the easiest way to move from your old computer to a new computer

 Published by [Briana Blythe](https://blog.laplink.com/author/briana-blythe) on  June 23, 2022 at 12:27 PM

PCmover is the easiest way to move your PC. It takes the guesswork out of transferring data from an old computer to a new computer, which can be a real hassle. To migrate a computer manually, you need to re-download software, track down serial numbers, transfer files, and reconfigure settings — a process that is both frustrating and time-consuming. Thankfully, PCmover can help move all files, software, settings, and data to a new computer quickly, easily, and without losing any data.

In fact, customers report saving [hours of valuable time](https://blog.laplink.com/new-survey-indicates-consumers-will-replace-pcs-sooner-if-laplink-pcmover-were-included-with-the-new-pc?hsLang=en) when they opt for [PCmover transfer software](https://web.laplink.com/product/pcmover-professional/?hsLang=en#tabs2) because it's so easy to use. Simply set it and forget it, and you go do something else, knowing that the entire personality of your computer — even your desktop background! — will be preserved in the transfer. What's more, your new computer will be set up and ready to use when you get back.

It's no wonder PCmover is the only PC transfer software recommended by Intel, Microsoft, and all major PC manufacturers. Plus, it's developed by [Laplink](https://web.laplink.com/aboutus/?hsLang=en), a company trusted with data transfers worldwide for nearly 40 years. And if you decide you need a hand with the transfer for any reason, Laplink's white glove customer service experience is at your fingertips. Our PC setup experts are here to help [24 hours a day, seven days a week](https://contact.laplink.com/?hsLang=en). 

Seriously, using PCmover is a simple, automated three-step process. Here's how it works.
