PCMover
Has anyone used PCMover to upgrade from XP to Windows7 on the same PC.
My copy purchased from Amazon doesn't seem to gather all the programs I designate. There are about 20 gigs of programs and it creates a file of only a few megs. |

When you run the program it does not collect the actual files, it collects a "library" of the programs that will be moved. When you create the "moving van" it should be on the same drive that will be used for the installation of Windows 7. There are some programs that, for me, did not move without a re-install. Photoshop CS3, Office 2007 and a couple of others, but for me the program did what Laplink said it would do. Look for the thread in this group titled: XP Pro 32 bit to Windows 7 pro 64 bit, in-place upgrade, by me on 11/9/09. -- "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
