PCmover Reconfigurator

PCmover Reconfigurator is a free tool provided to solve a problem that impacts some users.

If you purchase a new PC with a particular and common hardware configuration, as follows, you may be impacted by this problem.

If your new PC has two hard drives, specifically a very small and fast C: drive and a much larger normal speed extra drive (often called the D: drive) AND you have a very large collection of files in the standard user folders (ie "My Documents etc) on the C: drive on your old PC then there may simply not be enough room for them to fit on the C: drive on your new PC.

A simple solution, which the "PCmover Reconfigurator" tool automates, is to move the standard users folders on the new PC from the small C: drive to the larger D: drive.

When you then use Transfer MyPC to copy your files from your old PC to you new PC, the large collection of files will be copied to the appropriate place on the larger D: drive, thus solving the problem.

Learn how to use PCmover Reconfigurator to change Windows Library Folders to another drive.
