Saved countless hours of work and frustration! I recently had a small batch of ten-year-old Windows 10 desktop computers, each of which needed to be replaced with computers capable of running Windows 11 and, hopefully, beyond. Each of the old computers had multiple user profiles, different software applications and different databases. Even with over 50 years’ computer experience, I knew it was time to call in some help. I couldn’t afford the estimated time and expense of setting up each new machine, reinstalling all the necessary software and making sure that each of the various databases was accessible. Zinstall to the rescue! The only thing required of me was to do the initial setup on each of the new Windows 11 computers. The setup involved first appeasing Microsoft, adding an administrative profile, and connecting each old/new pair to both the internet and to my local area network (LAN). Once done, the Zinstall WinWin software was installed on the first set of old/new computers, the program was activated and the “go button” pressed. Approximately 4.5 hours later the first of the new Windows 11 computers was ready to go. No changes were made to the old Windows 10 computer, therefore it’s capable of serving as a good backup if needed. I repeated the process on the remaining pairs of computers during the next several days. Each transfer was completed successfully without any major issues. Any applications not compatible with Windows 11 (very few) were either updated, replaced, or done away with entirely. The good news for Quicken users, even that program, along with its associated database transferred without a hitch! Because of the differences between each set of computers, there were some minor “cleanup” issues to handle. A couple of Corel apps need to be reactivated, Outlook needed a couple of minor tweaks and Windows File Explorer continued showing a couple of virtual drives used by Zinstall during the transfer process. The latter of which required a quick email message to the Zinstall support folks for the solution. Unfortunately, HP has apparently decided to stop supporting some of its perfectly serviceable devices. This meant I had to turn to a third-party vendor for an additional piece of software to restore access to an HP LaserJet G4050 scanner. With regards to Zinstall Support: in addition to being lightning fast to respond to my email messages, their solutions are right on target. I relied on their support both during the initial planning process and to resolve the issue with multiple ghost drives appearing in Windows File Explorer. Bottom line: if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t hesitate to use Zinstall for the job. They’ve saved me countless hours of work and frustration!

Big claims, little delivered. Would not buy again. Was excited when I saw this and watched the demo, said the new computer would be exactly like the old one copy passwords, programs and so on, and would look the same. Well fail, did copy files and put on desktop, did not transfer passwords, programs (well you needed to enter the product code for the programs again). Also after paying you were encouraged to pay more for added services. Would not use again, not to mention how long it took to perform the transfer. The little video is totally misleading on the ease ir use and what actually gets transfered. Lastly when tried to do a chat for help, there was no response after about 10 minutes, so closed it.

Problem Free Transfer From Windows 10 to 11 I have no Microsoft products other than the operating system. This product moved a good size MySQL database, home grown java programs, NetBeans, SQL Developer, Open Office, MoneyDance, TextPad, Thunderbird and Firefox effortlessly in under 3 hours. I did not even have to re-enter any licenses. Only issue was that I had to get a new driver for the scanner for my HP All-In-One printer. It is worth the extra cost!

I had some trouble transferring my data… I had some trouble transferring my data because of slow WIFI speed at the first location. The following day, at a better location, I then had trouble getting one computer to recognize the other. I contacted Zinstall rep through their link and they directed me how to resolve the issue. Their patience and help to teach this ''old dog'' new tricks is greatly appreciated. Their customer service Rep--Joe--was above and beyond any assistance I've had from other firms. Thank you.

Good product, easy to transfer I think it's a very interesting, useful tool for when you get a new pc. it has saved me much time in the setup and installation process. Data transfer was fast and simple, it went through by itself and i did not have to do anything. Then I restarted the new computer as it instructed, and it was just like my old computer in every way, except different icon arrangement because monitor size is different. So I am quite pleased with the process and the results.
