Pre-Transfer Checklist (both PCs)

The following items should be addressed and/or completed on both of your PCs before starting Transfer MyPC.

• Transfer MyPC Installation: Transfer MyPC has been installed on both PCs.
• Administrator-level Permissions: On some operating systems, you will need Administrator-level permissions to perform a transfer.
• Hard Disk Space (Old PC vs. New PC): The hard drive(s) on the new computer has as much or more disk space as that on the old computer.
• Windows Versions (Old vs. New): The new PC has the same Windows version as or newer Windows version than that installed on the old PC.
• Internet Explorer Versions (Old vs. New): The new PC should have the same or newer version of Internet Explorer as that installed on the old PC.
• Review Applications on Each PC:

  You should not try to transfer applications that already appear on both PCs.

  Example

  Assume Microsoft Word is on the old PC and on the new PC.

  You should not attempt to transfer the Microsoft Word application, although transferring Word documents is fine.

  IMPORTANT

  Trial versions of applications should always be uninstalled from the new PC before transferring a full version of the same application from the old PC.

• Network Domain PCs: Corporate PCs on a network domain should be connected and logged into the domain at least once prior to the transfer.
• Computer Cleanup: Orlogix recommends that you run ScanDisk or a similar disk checking utility, as well as antivirus and antispyware software on the old and the new computers before the transfer.
• PC Power Settings/Options:

  Screen savers, hibernation protocols, and power-saving options on both computers should be turned OFF (i.e. All power management options in the Control Panel should be set to "Never" so they are completely disabled).

  Both computers need to remain on and completely "awake" during the transfer and must not go into screensaver or sleep/hibernation mode.

  A laptop PC must be plugged into a power outlet, rather than running on its batteries, as the transfer is likely to take a longer time than the battery life.

• Disable All Scheduled Tasks/Programs:

  Using the Windows Task Scheduler (within Administrative Tools), turn off any tasks or programs that are set to automatically run, as these will interfere with a Transfer MyPC transfer.

• Exit All Programs:

  Quit all active programs on both computers except for Transfer MyPC.

  Exit all programs that are running on both computers.

  Turn off system tools such as virus scanners, spyware scanners, firewall software, and desktop search utilities on both PCs.

  Due to the nature of these types of applications, you should choose not to transfer them, as they are unlikely to transfer correctly.

---

Transfer Information

• Length of Time: The transfer may take quite a while, depending on several factors: the size of the hard drive(s) you are transferring, the amount of data on them, their level of fragmentation, the number and size of applications and other files and folders you are transferring, and other factors.
• Updates for Applications: Some older applications may not work correctly after transfer without an update, especially if the operating system on the new PC is a more recent one than on the old. If you find this to be the case, please check with the application"s manufacturer for an update.

IMPORTANT: Some applications with a copy-protection process known as Digital Rights Management may not function correctly after the transfer. This includes music programs such as iTunes, MusicMatch and Napster, which will probably need to be reactivated, repaired via the Windows Control Panel or reinstalled on the new PC. These will probably require reactivation on the new PC, possibly a Repair done through the Windows Control Panel, and possibly reinstallation. Certain other applications, such as Microsoft Office, may also require reactivation.

• Advanced: You may review and edit settings for how drives and certain file types are transferred. Other custom changes can also be made to the transfer settings if needed (advanced users only). See step 3d for further instructions.

Applications:

List of Applications: On this screen is a list of the applications on your old computer. All applications that are likely to transfer successfully are selected by default to transfer to the new PC. You may deselect any applications that you do not wish to have transferred.

Click Done when finished. Any applications not selected by Transfer MyPC are not likely to transfer successfully and should not be selected. See list below for applications and programs you should not transfer.

Do not transfer:

• Applications incompatible with the operating system on the new PC. Occasionally this may occur when transferring from an older operating system to a newer operating system, or when transferring from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS.
• Applications already installed on the new PC.

• Applications with a trial version installed on one PC and the full version on the other PC.

  IMPORTANT: Trial versions of applications should always be uninstalled from the new PC before transferring a full version of the application from the old PC.

• System tools, such as virus scanners, spyware detectors, firewall software, and desktop search utilities, which are unlikely to transfer correctly.

IMPORTANT: "Unregistered Applications" are those that do not appear in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel in Windows. The term "Unregistered" does not, in this case, refer to whether you have registered a given application with its manufacturer.

This Unregistered Applications list will often include applications that are specific to hardware installed on the old computer. These will only work on the hardware for which they are designed, and may interfere or conflict with hardware for which they are not designed. These applications will therefore only work on the hardware for which they are intended. Accordingly, these applications can cause problems or conflicts on hardware for which they are not intended.

Note for "Files and Settings only" and "Files only" transfers Applications will not be transferred, based on your previous selection.

Documents/Pictures/Videos/Music/Other Files:

For each file type, Transfer MyPC allows you to deselect and exclude specific folders from the transfer. If, for instance, you do not want to transfer specific folders containing Documents, you can deselect those folders on the Documents screen, and they will not transfer to the new PC. You cannot exclude specific files, but you can exclude specific folders.

All folders that remain selected on each screen will transfer to the new PC.

Click Done on each screen when you have finished deselecting folders.

Note: To change the transfer destination for a folder, select the folder that you want to transfer to a different location. On the right side of the screen, the "Path" text field will show the location of the folder on the old PC, and the "Target" will show the current default transfer destination on the new PC. Enter a new transfer destination in the "Target" text field as needed. Leave the "Path" text field as is.

User Accounts:

The settings and associated files for the users on your old PC will be transferred to the user accounts on your new PC as shown in the list. If you have already established settings for the users on your new PC prior to the transfer, these settings will remain the same and will not be overwritten by the transfer. The user names and passwords for the users on the new PC will also remain the same.

To transfer all users to the new PC as listed, click Done.

To modify how a user is transferred to the new PC, select the user in the list and click Edit. In the dialog box that appears, you may choose to transfer to a different user on the new PC, or you may create a new user on the new PC. You may also choose to not transfer the user at all. Click OK when finished, and then click Done.

Advanced:

Drives: If the old PC contains more disk drives than the new PC, Transfer MyPC will create a folder for each drive that does not exist on the new PC.

To modify how a drive is transferred to the new PC, click Change. In the dialog box that appears, you may modify the drive and/or default folder to which the drive from the old PC is transferred. You may also choose to not transfer the drive from the old PC. Click OK when finished, and then click Done.

File Filtering: To exclude certain file types from the transfer, click File Filters.

Some file types are already set up for you in this screen, such as temporary files (.tmp). These files are generally small, but if you have a large number, they can take up quite a bit of hard drive space. To exclude any of these file types, select the check box(es).

To exclude other file types not shown on this screen, click Add and type the file type extension(s) of the file(s) you wish to exclude. For instance, if you want to exclude all files in .jpg format, this is where you list "*.jpg". Click Done when finished listing file types.

Preferences and Settings: Other custom changes can be made to the transfer settings if needed. Only advanced users should modify selections in this section. Click Done when finished making changes on the Advanced screen.

Transferring from the Old PC to the New PC

1. 1 Transferring

   Transfer MyPC is now transferring all of your selected applications, data files and registry settings to the new PC. Click OK and allow the transfer to complete.

   The length of time required to perform the transfer depends on the configuration of the computers and the amount of data to be transferred, and could be as much as several hours or more.

   Note: In very rare occasions the transfer of data will not continue if you do not see any progress for more than an hour, you should restart the transfer.

2. 2 Transfer Complete

   Congratulations! You have successfully transferred to your new PC.

   At this point, if you used the Laplink Ethernet cable for your transfer and have a wired Internet connection, you should now unplug the Ethernet cable from your new PC and reconnect your Internet cable.

   Internet connectivity is required so Transfer MyPC can install Microsoft Redistributable packages required by some of your applications.

   You will need to restart your new PC for all of the settings to take effect. Click Finish to restart automatically.

   Note: To maximize system compatibility, Transfer MyPC may not transfer certain system settings as well as hardware configurations. After the transfer, the following software may have to be reinstalled or reactivated on the new PC:

   • Antivirus and antispyware applications
   • Hardware-specific drivers
   • Files with Digital Rights Management (e.g. copy-protected music files)

   If reinstallation or reactivation does not resolve problems, you may need to contact the appropriate vendor for specific instructions. For more details regarding difficulty with applications running on the new PC, please see the section "Helpful Hints".

PCmover Reconfigurator - Change Windows Library Folders to Another Drive

Change Windows Library Folders to Another Drive

PCmover Reconfigurator, a separate application included as an option with Transfer MyPC, allows you to reconfigure your PC to more effectively use the drives that are installed.

Some PCs come with a small C:\ intended to run Windows and critical programs, and a secondary larger drive to store data and programs that are not typically used.

PCmover Reconfigurator moves Windows library folders (i.e., Pictures, Documents, etc.) from a small drive to a larger secondary drive in order to free up space.

If Transfer MyPC detects limited drive space on the new PC, PCmover Reconfigurator will start automatically while running Transfer MyPC.

Otherwise, PCmover Reconfigurator can be run after the migration completes by going to the Windows Start menu > All Apps > Transfer MyPC > PCmover Reconfigurator

---

Using Transferred Applications

If an application does not work or displays errors on the new machine, try a Repair done through the Windows Control Panel, and if that does not suffice, try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

You may need to run the installation file as an Administrator.

For more information on running programs as an Administrator, please check Windows Help.

---

Updates for Applications

Some older applications may not work correctly after the transfer without an update, especially if the operating system on the new PC is a more recent one than on the old.

If you find this to be the case, please check with the application's manufacturer for an update.

---

Programs Requiring Reactivation

Some applications with a copy-protection process known as Digital Rights Management may not function correctly after the transfer.

This includes music programs with Digital Rights Management such as iTunes, MusicMatch and Napster.

These will probably require reactivation on the new PC, possibly a Repair done through the Windows Control Panel, and possibly reinstallation.

Certain other applications, such as Microsoft Office, may also require reactivation.

---

Music Files

Because of the copy-protection methods, music files that are copy protected may not play on the new computer without transferring the licenses for the music files.

Look at the music application help files for information on transferring the licenses, or contact the music application vendor.

You may also need to reinstall the music application.

---

Antivirus/Antispyware Applications

Reinstall any antivirus or antispyware software.

As previously stated, these types of applications are unlikely to transfer correctly.

---

Undoing a Transfer
