Ultimately failed Zinstall seemed fairly easy per sales pitch, but I wanted to leave some files out of the transfer due to space limitations, and I ran into problems. At first, the problems had to be due to not shutting down security options, so I wrote support. They agreed and kindly send me the upgraded version for free cause I’d tried to shut everything down. That ran into other problems. Now I’m trying one last time and it’s been looping on the “validating” step at 99% for several hours. I’ve been using and moving laptop data since the mid 1980s. Why does everyone keep creating more difficult programs under the guise of ‘improving’ them? Two stars was due to their nice Support, but after the initial problem, they just kept giving me the same solution which was irrelevant at that point. Programming keeps getting worse each decade. The biggest companies are some of the worst. At least back in the 80s we had manuals with the software that was written with programmers. Now they have “support” sites where the only help is from other customers. Considering how wealthy these companies are, you’d think they’d care more about customer service. They don’t.

The results of the transfer were excellent The results of the transfer were highly desirable and it really amazed me. Tech support was great except for a 3 day waiting period for them to reply. Still worth the snafu

Superb communication Superb communication, I was not sure if I needed assisted or self managed migration. The product was superb and transferred everything in minutes. As described, when the target PC was turned onn it looked exactly like the source with everything in place!

What is your time worth? What is your time worth... $10hr, $20, $30....etc? How many hours would it take you to load a new computer with all your files, programs, apps, SW, contacts, favorites and even screen setups.... 5 hours, 10 hours or lasting over into days? I too was weighting the cost/benefits of buying Zinstall versus lower cost alternatives, but I'm glad I bought Zinstall. It was simple, seamless and precisely thorough. It tirelessly (Zinstall, not me!) ran for 7 hours overnight without any interjection required by me. Surprise, surprise, in the morning I had a mirror image of my old laptop on a new laptop, ready to use... and I didnt break a sweat! That's called a positive ROI! David, Haddonfield NJ
