Laplink Announces PCmover, PC To Laptop Wi-Fi File Migration Solution




Laplink announces that PC users can now harness the power and convenience of wireless file and data transfer when they upgrade to a new computer.

Kirkland, WA-/June 29, 2005 - Wi-Fi Technology News/-With Laplink PCmover, new Laptop PC users can now move their applications, settings and files from their older wired PC to a new WiFi equipped laptop with a few simple clicks and without establishing a physical connection. In a matter of hours PC users can send applications, files and settings effortlessly from one PC to another using fast Wi-Fi technology and PCmover?s simple and powerful migration process.

New desktop and laptop PC owners no longer need to spend days or even weeks searching for program CDs and serial numbers, resetting hundreds of preferences, and worrying about all the files they may have forgotten to transfer. PC users can now move everything across a wireless connection in minutes. No lost files or missing data. No painstaking resetting of preferences. In just a few hours, the favorite PC environment users spent years perfecting will be transferred flawlessly to the new machine.

?As far back as 1983, Laplink provided the fastest, most reliable data transfers over a physical connection. Laplink transfer cables were so well known that by 1998, ?to laplink? actually became the accepted term for transferring data between PCs,? Thomas Koll, Laplink CEO, explained. ?But as new wireless technologies emerge, we continue to make sure that our products are compatible.?

To initiate a fast, convenient wireless migration, users simply connect the old and the new PC to the same network. After loading the PCmover software onto each machine, they can use a simple, intuitive migration wizard to begin the painless, automatic process of transferring all the old PC?s files, email, settings and applications to the new machine. Nothing is left behind. PCmover moves all types of files and applications, including music and multimedia files, desktop settings, registry settings, and Internet settings, favorites and bookmarks.

PCmover?s wireless migration capability makes it an ideal complement to the purchase of a new laptop. ?New laptops are usually equipped with wireless access cards,? explained Todd Rupley, SVP of Retail and Online Sales. "So by adding a copy of PCmover to their purchase, laptop buyers are taking home a fast, easy, wireless way to transfer everything they need to their new machine.? As long as the older PC has a network connection to the new laptop, a wireless migration from the old PC to the new one can be accomplished using the simple Wizard interface in just minutes.

?I get asked all the time about PC migration software,? stated Zaine Ridling, author of The Great Software List. ?Thanks to Laplink, there?s an affordable, high-quality application that does the job you expect it to do without the hassle you thought it would be.?

PC users such as Gary Bunker, Director Asia Pacific for Usability by Design, Ltd., use PCmover because it gives them peace of mind while saving them valuable time: ?Overall, the entire migration took less than four hours, whereas a previous migration took me well over two days, with missing data and applications turning up for weeks afterward,? he said, continuing, ?I'd recommend this product to others in a flash!?

For a fast, convenient, wireless way to transfer files, settings, and applications from an older PC to a newer one, there is only one choice; Laplink PCmover.
