What You Should Know
PCmover should be used only as intended and as described in the Quick Start Guide. If you attempt to use this product for unintended purposes, your computer may become unstable or unusable. If you have any questions, please visit technical support.
- Some programs on your old PC may not be compatible with a newer operating system.
- Files with Digital Rights Management (DRM), such as music files and programs that require keys or serial numbers with a hardware fingerprint, may require reactivation.
- Some programs with unique copy write protection may need to be reinstalled or reactivated with their original key or serial number.
- You should remove trial software on the new computer if a full version exists on your old PC.
- Antivirus and Anti-Spyware programs will not be moved to your new PC.
- Specific hardware drivers will not be moved to your new PC.
- PCmover is not designed for migrations from newer operating systems to older operating systems. We do not recommend attempting to migrate from a PC running Windows Vista to a PC running Windows XP, as doing so may render your system unstable.

- Please note that PCmover Express serial numbers are unique to PCmover Express and will not work with other editions of PCmover.
