Worked fine. My smart TV was unable to connect to internet until I installed (plugged it in). Also getting stronger signal to other Wi-Fi devices.
I would recommend this to a friend!

As far as an external device it works well and I don't have many complaints. I wish it was a little more robust as far as staying in place. It tends to move about physically on the desktop since I don't have any practical way to secure it in place. May try some mounting tape later when I'm sure where I want to put it. It is thin and is great if you are concerned about space. After doing some investigating, even though it's USB2, a USB3 is not likely to work any faster, I believe due to the constraints of reading the disk.

I installed it but with it's limitations, uninstalled. I have a good security system through my internet provider. Claims it will move files but will not move apps. Decided to buy a pc mover which also moved apps.

Requires Magnifier to see some graphics

I replaced the 1TB hard drive with a solid state 1TB hard drive. Not quite as fast as I expected but much faster than standard HD. When working with applications once app is loaded, it's a speed demond. It has a very high resolution and graphics driver. A few programs responded with small graphics which requires using the Windows Magnifier. Also some drop down menus also requires the same. While a little annoying I like the speed and will endure this minor problem. By the way, changing resolution to lower setting does not solve this problem, I assume that the graphics driver is set accordingly. It has 10 macro keys which can be useful for gaming and other applications. Otherwise graphics are great.

To use PCmover, simply install it on both your old and new Windows computers, and follow the easy-to-use wizard. When the transfer is complete, your new PC will have the personality and functionality of your old one. Because most transferred applications are installed ready-to-use on the new PC, there's usually no need to find old CDs or previously downloaded applications, serial numbers, or license codes. A single purchase of PCmover provides one license to migrate from one source to one destination computer - with as many attempts needed. Additional computers will require an additional license(s).

I recently had to move to a new computer due to hardware issues with previous computer. My previous computer was partitioned and Laplink PC mover moves everything to Drive C. The partioned files were put into a folder on drive C naming it Drive(Letter of partition-foler name, for example "Drive_E". Works pretty well as most programs recognize that as the link. However not all programs worked which ment reinstalling or changing settings. In some cases had to uninstall before reinstalling. Another problem was required Serial Numbers even though valid on previous computer did not work. Had to get software providers permission after explaining to update. A number of links had to be updated such as documents, excel, etc. were not found since they had moved from original file location. Still all in all was better than trying to make the move manually. I have many programs and files.

My husband spends time in the garage playing games but he will lose connection (garage is detached) Will this help?

Possibly. It depends on variable factors since the garage is unattached. Only way to find out is to try it. Just buy it from a source that allows returns if not satisfactory.
