Avanquest UK Launches PCmover VistaI From Laplink

Published 25th January 2007

Avanquest Software, a leading developer and global publisher of best-selling personal and professional software, has announced the launch of the latest version of PCmover for Vista. The latest version will enable businesses and individuals to transfer all files and settings of their existing PC to a new Vista ready PC in one simple process.

The allure of a new and improved operating system with the launch of Windows Vista is leading many to consider purchasing a new PC. Once they have purchased the new machine, they will face the same challenge: how to transfer the software applications, files, settings, email contacts and photos – the essential functionality and personality of their old PC - to their new one.

PCmover will easily transfer all applications, files and settings to a new Vista PC in one simple process. Having installed the programme on both the old and new PC and connected the two machines via the supplied USB 2.0 cable, the user follows a wizard to activate the migration.

Product features include:

• USB 2.0 cable - The USB 2.0 cable includes a chipset that allows for simultaneous, bi-directional flow of information between PCs. This allows both PCs to communicate and transfer information more quickly.

• Complete migration - Move all your files, settings, and programs from the old to the new PC, without worrying that key registry settings or shared files will get left behind.

• Transfer from an old OS to new - PC Mover will transfer files, settings and programs from PCs with operating systems dating back from Windows 95 right up to Windows Vista.

• No overwriting - PCmover will not overwrite any pre-installed software on the new PC, or alter an old PC in any way.

• Multiple transfer options - Choose from a parallel cable, USB 1.1, USB 2.0, or for the fastest migrations, use a wired/wireless network to perform the migration. Also use removable media such as a CD-R or DVD-R.

• Migrate multiple users in a single migration - Most software requires you to perform two separate migrations for two separate users – this is not the case with PCmover

• Save time by automatically migrating all XP users and their configurations from an old PC to a new PC in a single migration

• Undo function - Reverse a migration at any time with PCmover's easy ‘undo’

“PCmover is simply the best choice for consumers and businesses looking for an affordable, effective and simple way to transfer the contents of their old computer to their new one,” says Thomas Koll, Chairman and CEO of Laplink Software. “Because our competition can’t move software programs, they don’t offer the same total migration solution that we do.”
