Should I back up the data on my new computer before I use 'Transfer MyPC v10 with Application Mover' ? | Safety Notice First, please be aware that rare and unpredictable hardware or software failures can occur whenever you use any IT product. One of the possible consequences is the loss of your data and files. The only practical way to avoid this risk is to create and verify multiple regular backups and store them in a safe place. You alone are fully responsible at all times for the safety of all your data and files. Whilst transfering to a new PC (using any vendors product) is generally no more risky that normal use of your PC, it is worth remembering that ANY computer can fail at ANY time without warning. If that failure is bad enough it may destory all data on the PC. Thus backups are essential for EVERY computer regardless of use. It is highly unlikely that 'Transfer MyPC v10 with Application Mover' would result in any loss of data on your new computer. However, before you make changes to a computer system using any utility program, you should always make sure that you can return the system to its previous state if a problem should arise. Many new computers include an application that allows you to easily restore the factory-installed software on the hard disk (including the Windows operating system and all applications) in a single step. Without such a disk, restoration is a more time consuming process, involving the reinstallation of the operating system and applications from original CDs. If you are upgrading a new computer that does not include such an application, we recommend that you back up the data on the computer's hard drive before proceeding to save time in the event of a problem. |
Can anything bad happen when I use 'Transfer MyPC v10 with Application Mover' ? | "Safety Notice First, please be aware that rare and unpredictable hardware or software failures can occur whenever you use any IT product. One of the possible consequences is the loss of your data and files. The only practical way to avoid this risk is to create and verify multiple regular backups and store them in a safe place. You alone are fully responsible at all times for the safety of all your data and files. During the transfer process no changes are made to the old PC and so there is no chance that anything bad will happen to it as a result of the transfer. The transfer process could potentially result in the loss of data on your new PC system whilst integrating the files and settings from the old PC. Although it is highly unlikely that a problem will occur during the transfer, you always have the option of performing an ""Undo"" of the transfer on the new PC if you are unhappy with the result for any reason. When you undo the transfer, the new PC is returned to its pre-transfer state." |
What exactly does 'Transfer MyPC v10 with Application Mover' transfer? Will it overwrite my new operating system? What about temporary files in my Recycle Bin or Internet Explorer cache? | We understand your concern that your new computer's operating system might be altered and your new hard drive cluttered with junk files you don't need or want.

It is a simple matter to transfer multiple users to a new PC. |
Can I transfer from a newer operating system to an older operating system? | It is not recommended that you transfer from a newer operating system to an older operating system. Doing this will lead to unpredictable results and may render your system unbootable. |
