On 4 February 2014, Laplink are giving their PCmover Upgrade Assistant for free, only for 24 hours. Because Microsoft will be discontinuing technical support, security upgrades and hotfixes for Windows XP, Laplink are encouraging people to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 using PCmover.

"PCmover Windows Upgrade Assistant is the ONLY software that automatically moves all selected files, settings, user profiles, and even programs from any version of Windows to Windows 7 or 8! Because most transferred applications are installed ready-to-use on the new PC, there’s usually no need to find old CDs, previously downloaded programs, serial numbers, or license codes. It is the only way to do an in-place upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, and it’s the only way to do a “cross-architecture” upgrade from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version"

    Wow its been over 15years ever since I have heard of Laplink.

    I remember using them back in the old days of serial cables and cross over cables, to transfer files without any hubs.

      I remeber I used a parallel cable at the time. The price was $20.

      • effgee on 02/02/2014 - 14:56

        +1 for the parallel cable - I remember that one. Plus having to get into the bios to set EPP/ECP mode, 4bits/8bits.
        And it was still painfully slow…but it worked, and there were very few alternatives

    RS-232 null modems… I was there when it happened

        Any bargains on X Tree?

        • iseenya on 02/02/2014 - 10:49

          Xtree FTW! Geez, that takes me back. And Lotus Magellan!

          I'm just puzzled why you wouldn't just use the xcopy command. I suppose some people haven't upgraded to DOS 3.2 yet.

          what about Norton Commander? along with Laplink this 40kb gem was on all my boot discs, and by disc i mean 5 1/4" floppy disc, remember back then you had serial & lpt ports no usb, Laplink was like a usb drive only better in the sense that you never ran out of space like a usb drive

    Whoooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    Laplink, I didn't even know that name still existed. Man I remember going from serial to parallel mode (custom cable) and doubling speeds. Good times.

    I have successfully upgraded computers from XP to Windows 7 using PC Mover and it saved me so much time.

  • MagicTsukai on 02/02/2014 - 03:55

    this might come in handy soon
    need a reminder

  • McFly on 02/02/2014 - 12:05

    Lap(link)land is in WA state so I'm guessing (because it doesn't actually say) that this starts 7PM EDST on Tuesday…

    • Niggly on 03/02/2014 - 01:39

      EDST is 3 hrs AHEAD of Perth not behind!

  • bonky on 02/02/2014 - 16:51

    who remembers pctools?

    • Sick of This on 03/02/2014 - 08:04

      Pfft! Get with the times, LAPLINK is the way of the future! :-P

  • anna10 on 03/02/2014 - 07:52

    Free on Valentine's Day … how much is it normally and do you recommend it … is it plug and go or do I actually have to know what I'm doing?

    • Sick of This on 03/02/2014 - 08:06

      Psst. The 4th of Feb is not valentine's day, it's the 14th. Just trying to keep you out of trouble with your other half.

      Valentine's Day is normally very expensive - I don't recommend it.

  • anna10 on 03/02/2014 - 08:14

    OOps, could've been 2 lots of pressies there.

  • bonky on 04/02/2014 - 10:24

    Has anyone been able to download this?

    It wont let me…. something about "Direct Links are not allowed"

    • McFly on 04/02/2014 - 16:25

      Works fine for me - download is slow though.

  • jdr on 05/02/2014 - 19:54

    Still working now
