Exclusive Offer for QCS Members: As an APCUG user group member, Laplink would like to offer you 20% off your purchase of PCmover, an essential tool for migrating to the new computer in your future.

PCmover is the only migration utility that automatically moves all your programs, files, and settings from your old PC to you new PC. Hurry, this offer expires June 30, 2008!

With PCmover's selectivity feature you can choose which files, applications, and folders you want to transfer and which you want to leave behind. When the transfer is complete, your new computer will have the personality and functionality of your old PC plus all of its own pre-installed software.

To receive your discount on any single license download or physical version of PCmover, QCS members, you need to contact Judi for the QCS code to use during checkout. You will need to set up a Laplink account as part of the PCmover download process. Learn more about PCmover
