Laplink Software is aiding Windows users by providing PCmover Windows 8 Beta Assistant, a free tool that enables migration from a Windows 7 PC to a Windows 8 PC for both consumer and business machines. Available as a free download, PCmover Windows 8 Beta Assistant makes testing Windows 8 more efficient and allows users to move selected programs, files, and settings to a Windows 8 machine.
Unlike PCmover, Microsoft’s Windows Easy Transfer has never supported the process of migrating installed apps. Without PCmover, users must find old CDs, re-download applications, and locate serial numbers and keys to manually install programs when setting up a new PC.
