Upgrading your PC to Windows 7!
Of the 66 Windows 7 upgrade scenarios detailed by Microsoft, only 14
are supported by Windows. As illustrated in
this
chart, among the remaining unsupported scenarios are all upgrades from Windows XP - for the
many XP users out there, this makes upgrading to Windows 7 a complicated task.
That’s why we created Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant: it helps you upgrade your existing PC
quickly and easily from any version of Windows (Media Center or later) to Windows 7. If you are
upgrading your PC from XP to Windows 7, you need PCmover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant.
Using PCmover to upgrade to Windows 7 is
easy. First, run PCmover and follow the easy-to-use wizard. Then install Windows 7, choosing
"custom" install (do not reformat). Then run PCmover again. That's it - you're done. No need to
copy files to external media; no need to reinstall all your applications. PCmover does it all for
you without any external storage, without copying files and without old CDs and serial numbers!
Important:If you are setting up a NEW PC, drive, partition or deleting your old
operating system, you should select a different edition of PCmover
here.
Setup Your New PC in 3 Easy Steps
1
Install PCmover and follow the simple wizard.
2
Inset Windows 7 DVD* and install your new operating system.
3
Reinstall PCmover and allow it to restore your programs, files and settings!
Do you already own PCmover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant and need to perform another computer upgrade? To get a new serial number, just purchase a download version of PCmover. You will be emailed a new serial number immediately and you will be ready to do another computer upgrade!
A single license of PCmover allows you to upgrade a single existing computer. Additional computer upgrades requires purchasing additional licenses.
How much is your time worth? A painstaking migration done manually can take a couple of days, and you can still miss stuff. A PCmover migration takes hours, and doesn't miss anything."

…I've never been able to get a new PC looking this much like its predecessor before, regardless of how many hours I invested… I let Laplink's PCmover Professional do the heavy lifting."
