PCMover is supposed to make moving your system from one computer to another as painless as possible. Unfortunately it doesn’t work very well. First off the software is confusing to use, even for a tech savvy person. Second, each end of the transfer cable needs to be plugged in to a specific computer but THE CABLE IS NOT MARKED in a way that lets you know which end is which! I wasted an hour trouble shooting before realizing that I needed to swamp the cable around.

The transfer is a long, arduous process. Mine took nearly 10 hours. After the transfer completed, most of the programs that were moved failed to work correctly, including: QuickBooks, LightRoom V 1.3 and ACS Data Base among others.

I suggest avoiding this program unless you absolutely have to have it. It was a total waste of my time.
