Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read alot of reviews on this product before buying it, and the reviews were very mixed. But it was the only game in town, so I decided to give it a try. It worked perfectly!! Took about 1.5 hours to transfer everything from my old PC to my new one, using the included high-speed Ethernet cable. (Please note, this is not a regular Ethernet cable, so you can't just use one you have lying around). Since it worked for me with no issues, I can only surmise that those with bad experiences didn't follow the directions. You should read the on-screen instructions available when you put in the disc. It has more detail than the paper insert regarding preparing both PC's --> you need to turn off any scheduled updates, power settings (like sleep mode) and firewalls. You also need to make sure both computers are running the same version of Windows. It is also recommended that you run a virus and malware check on your old computer so you don't bring the bad stuff over to the new one. So, there is some "prep" that needs to be done before the transfer, but if you do all these things, you will not have a problem.
