Will PC Mover Ultimate transfer from Windows 7, 32 bit computer to Windows 8.1 64 bit computer? Is the cable supplied with the package sufficient?

I bought an external hard drive copied everything on that and then to the new compter. Wish i had done that before wasting my money. Also, this product WILL NOT transfer any Microsoft Office software. You will need the discs. This developers customer service department told me that it would transfer Office...that is why I bought it. Then they denied that any of their people would say that...yeah well, I am fairly capable and educated and know what I heard.

No, windows 8.1 is made so that all of your files will transfer over into your new os(win 8). Everything you have will be there when you're done

Hi Stuart. I used one of Laplink's 'PCMover' programs to upgrade from Vista to Win7; it worked really well and was simple to use.There is a PDF guide which you can download and print out; this takes you step by step through the upgrade process. Laplink's support team headed by Ray Pettit is excellent; you can chat online for help if needed. This link will advise you which program is most suitable : http://www.laplink.com/index.php/individuals/pcmover-for-windows-8/feature-overview Regards Bob.

I have Windows 8.1 and it installed just fine. I have not actually transferred a video yet but all of the elements seem to function just fine. Remember that Windows 8 is really Windows 7 on steroids.

Yes it works fine and both of my pcs are windows 7 and 64 bit. I have had no issues with it just a little had to limit what files are backed up

I had no trouble moving all of my files and folders from an XP platform to a 7 platform about one month ago. The cable and software worked as described. Remember that the programs themselves do not transfer. That requires re-installation.

I have a windows easy transfer cable. They sell one that works with XP SP3 to any version of Vista or Windows 7. They also sell one that transfers files from any version of Vista to Windows 7.

The ad for it states, "Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and Mac OS." I have used it extensively with Windows 7, versions Home, Premium, Professional, and Ultimate on Crucial SSDs and Toshiba, Samsung, Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi and HP HDDs. You should have no problem with Windows 8.1. If the target device on the included USB to SATA cable is not recognized in Windows, then you can boot from the software CD and all drives will be recognized. You just select your source and target drives and proceed with the clone, which takes an hour or two depending on the size of the drives and the amount of data being transferred. Good luck,

I transferred from XP to Windows 7 and all went well. Files, pics, email contacts, email records all came across nicely. I don't know about Windows 8.1. Others can probably speak to that better. I would guess they will answer in the affirmative. This is a good company to deal with.

I used it with windows 8 to transfer data from ide drive from a broken laptop and worked very well. I don't remember at that time if it was windows 8 or 8.1

I have Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, and it works just fine. I plugged in the USB and it was off and running. As to Windows 8.1, I would say it should, but I cannot honestly say yes with 100% assurance.

I could never get the Prolific drivre to work under 64 bit WIN7. I don't know about WIN8. Try a converter that uses the FTDI Driver.

Yes. I have this unit installed in a Windows 8.1 loaded PC and works flawlessly. Be sure that you have both, an internal 3.0 and 2.0 USB header on your motherboard available for proper operation.

I use it on both my Windows 7 and 8.1 computers with no problem. You should be fine.

Yes it can, but it depends on what data you are talking about moving, i.e. word,excel files, music, videos etc, yes. But If it's OS related, then the answer is no. Remember this cable is designed to transfer mixed file types, through the use of (Easy Transfer) app. that's built into the OSfrom one PC to another PC. If you transfer the OS types, then the only way to do this is to do a clean install, from one OS to another. And of this you need the OS discs or ISO file for the reinstall.
