Laplink Software, Inc.,has announced a special version of PCmover with a street price under $20, accommodating an “in-place” upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7.

Laplink says the dilemma Windows XP users are facing is that Microsoft does not fully support upgrading from XP to Windows 7.

“We are responding to end-user demand and a clear need in the marketplace,” said Randall Clark, Laplink’s chief operating officer. “Our goal is to help consumers and businesses adopt Windows 7 as painlessly as possible. We believe that Windows 7 will prove to be the best and most popular operating system yet, but there are a few implementation hurdles. With PCmover, whether upgrading an existing PC or migrating to a new PC, moving to Windows 7 becomes incredibly simple.”

PCmover is compatible for migrations from all versions of Windows (since Windows 95). It supports in-place upgrades from Windows 2000 through Windows 7, including 32-bit and 64-bit upgrades and migrations. PCmover automatically moves all settings, files, folders, applications and more to a new PC. Pictures, videos, music, tax files, Internet favorites, documents, spreadsheets, games and other components can be moved automatically.

“With this version of PCmover, users can upgrade from operating systems such as Windows 2000, XP or 32-bit Vista to Windows 7 64-bit without losing any data or having to reinstall their applications,” Clark noted.

PCmover is available from most software retailers and online at Laplink.com.

For more than 25 years, Laplink has provided software used for PC migration, remote access, file transfer and synchronization. The privately held company is headquartered in Bellevue, WA.
