The latest version of PCmover will be released this month (Oct. 23). According to developer Laplink Software Inc., is designed to “make it as easy as possible to set up a new Windows 8 PC.”
The latest iteration of the popular PC-to-PC migration tools supports all Windows 8 upgrade scenarios, whether moving to a new PC or upgrading an existing one. Microsoft only provides support for a few limited scenarios and does not provide any solution for transferring applications to a new PC.
“Upgrading to Windows 8 will be a nightmare for many consumers,” says Laplink CEO Thomas Koll. “We support all transfer scenarios: upgrading an existing PC to Windows 8, restoring from a hard drive or image, or moving from an old PC to a new one.”
Koll adds, “In addition, our Free Transfer Assistance, where we provide a trained professional to assist or actually perform the transfer remotely, is available 24/7. PCmover will also support all users with the added benefit of our new remotely-assisted, phone-based Free Transfer Assistance.”
The Windows 8 version of PCmover is available for presale at a 50 percent discount until its official release Oct. 23, including PCmover Professional (presale price of $29.950, PCmover Home (presale price of $19.95), and PCmover Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant (presale price of $14.95).
