PCmover

The cooling fan in my main computer is failing. It is an All-In-One system that is difficult to open up for repairs. I called Best Buy and was told that it would be a minimum of $200 plus parts. Fortunately, I have a spare computer that was being used to mine cryptocurrency that I will use as a replacement. Having transferred data from an old computer to a new one several times in the past, I dreaded the conversion process, so I went online and discovered a highly rated program (PCmover) that would automate most of the work.

It did save me a lot of time by transferring photos, videos, documents and other miscellaneous files. However, it did not transfer everything and you wind up having to do some stuff manually. All in all, it was worth the price, but it is still a pain in the tush to get your new computer back to where you want it.
