Wife bought a Surface pro yesterday so I needed to transfer the contents from her old pc to the new one. Tried PCTrans but it's effectively useless without a licence code so I accidently stumbled upon Chip Magazine giving away free 9.0 codes which work in the current 9.5 trial.

So download the current trial from the link below and then use the link to grab a key.

Currently copying 26gb across a wifi network..

    Currently copying 26gb across a wifi network..

    That's what Gigabit Ethernet is for. If there is no built in Ethernet socket, then USB 3 to Ethernet is a good option.

      Surface Pro has no built in ethernet. I could use a usb 2 drive as that's all I have but AC wifi is pretty speedy all things considered.. currently transferring at 13/mb sec which is faster than USB 2 anyway. It's nearly done 26gb, so all good.

        SP4 user here.

        How far away are you from the AP? I easily get 44 MB/s about 10m away.

        currently transferring at 13/mb sec

        You are transferring at 13 MB/s, MBps (Megabyte per second) not 13 Mb/s, Mbps (Megabit per second).

      • no not me on 14/05/2017 - 12:00

        13MB seems very slow for AC. Do each of the PC and Surface have a high speed connection? I get around 70MB on my AC. Just wondering about the Surface's bandwidth.

        • BoyGotSkills on 14/05/2017 - 14:02

          I think what you're missing is that wifi connections use time division multiplexing to talk to different devices.

          E.g. my 2x2 AC wifi adapter connects to my access point at 800mbps, which is a "half duplex" connection.
          Remove roughly 50% of the 800mbps for connection overheads such as encryption, and general wireless packet overheads.
          You're left with 400mbps (bits), still half duplex. So if you have two devices connected, they have 200mbps each, device one uses that for sending, device two uses that for receiving. 200mbps = roughly 20MB/sec (bytes), in close to ideal environment.

          I would expect to get close to that 40MB/sec when you're transferring from a NAS or such plugged into the router via gigabit ethernet.

          this is making me feel bad. We have a terrible internet connection. Its so bad that i used to think that a 600KBps download speed was impressive.

          @Ozbargain Lurker:
          They're not discussing internet speed. They're talking about the speed of their WiFi.

          Example, my internet is ~750KBps down, 100KBps up. However, I can transfer stuff over my WiFi network (one PC to another) at up to 50MBps.

      Hmm, go out and buy a cable and at least 1 ethernet adapter… sounds more expensive than just waiting a few hours for a wifi transfer.

    • Vladdo on 14/05/2017 - 15:46

      I'm using a Surface Pro with Wireless AC. Transferring from a 5yr old iMac that has Wireless N (i think). So transferring wireless to wireless. Got around 13 megabytes a second.

      Don't really need/want/spend to buy a usb to ethernet connection for a once off job. I could transfer the files without the need for an app, but a few mouse clicks later, it's all done without me having to spend half an hour going through and sort through all her shit.

      Anyway, just thought it was a quick and free method of migrating from old to new.

    As this deal posted by OP is free, it is fine but do not invest anything in their product. Worst customer service and products. I paid them $700 for server backup and one system backup. As it never worked properly and company refused to pay my moneu back, I moved to other product.

    Interesting thing is there is no much help found online as well.

      Agree in the main with that.
      When Easeus workstation backup first appeared it seemed to me quite a good product.
      Since then they seem to have been taken over by the same sort of marketing people that destroyed the original Acronis backup product.
      Now Easeus is all about up-selling, cross-selling and producing products that are going to require a paid upgrade in the future.

    Why is software required for a simple file transfer?

    -Confused

    • Borg on 14/05/2017 - 13:44

      I am guessing it will also transfer the associated settings for each app you choose?

    • KitchenSink on 14/05/2017 - 21:03

      Not just file transfer, but it can do also Applications and its settings, user settings for apps (appdata), registries that also have to come across if the OP is doing that. Besides you'd be surprised where people can (even to my amusement) save their files sometimes like on the C: or another partition or a folder outside the Users folder without realising it. Sometimes Programs install outside of the Program Files folder (MYOB is guilty of that back in the days).

      Programs like these can help make sure you grab everything across with just simple interface.

    Use Windows Easy Transfer. It's built into Windows, copies everything and it's free.

    • KitchenSink on 14/05/2017 - 15:20

      Its not supported in Windows 10. Instead MS recommends a third party app to do it I think its PCMover Express. Haven't tried it.

    • Vladdo on 14/05/2017 - 15:41

    Can we copy between PCs on the same network either wired or connected via wireless? Just need to create a share on the old computer and copy it on new computer.

      This migrates data from one PC to another (or from one disk to another).

      It is not used as backup software.

    • NoApostrophePlurals on 15/05/2017 - 10:12

      You'll have to copy it to HDD and then from HDD so doing it twice. You will also have to download and reinstall all your software if you are migrating

  • KennyPowers on 14/05/2017 - 20:28

    I've been using Easeus Todo backup for OS clones for the last 10 odd years. 100% solid on multiple systems both mine and family members. Never skipped a beat.
    Never encountered DRM issues with either games or software on the destination cloned disk. Can't speak on this software, but they seem to have a solid cloning system in place. Free is also good +1

    Thanks OP

  • lordra on 25/05/2017 - 23:03

    I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. There are just 3 options. I created an image. Now I have windows 10 on a 60gb ssd. Just bought a 1tb ssd and need to move win 10 over to the new drive. Any idea in how to do this?

    • Borg on 25/05/2017 - 23:12

      This software is for backing up/transferring settings from one PC to another. What you need is cloning software to copy existing hdd to new. See this one.

    • Vladdo on 25/05/2017 - 23:15

      PCTrans Pro isn't a partition backup/recovery app. It's designed purely to migrate personal files/folders and some apps from an old pc to a new pc.

      Sounds like you need a partition backup app. ie,

      http://www.easeus.com/backup-software/

      I think there are a few free options around but unsure of what they are.

      • lordra on 26/05/2017 - 17:06

        Aww, cheers guys, those things are expensive at $100 or above. Could I just do a normal windows 10 install with my old key and then move office and all my programs over with this software?

        • Borg on 27/05/2017 - 00:25

          Yes you could, if to the same PC/Notebook. Win10 will Auto register if "previously" registered on that PC. Upon fresh install, just "Skip" the portion when it asks for the Serial as it will auto register once you finish and log in.

          As for moving Office over etc, You will still need to install office and apps. this software is for the settings (and to be honest nearly quicker just to manually copy).

          Best option (unless you do want to start from scratch), is to Clone your Drive by having both inside your PC (if a PC).
          using: http://www.easeus.com/backup-software/tb-free.html (which is free). You can ask questions on their Forums how to do all of this. Its not too hard, just ensure you backup all you critical data (in case you stuff up). I am not saying to in jest……and only as a precaution.

          See the: Disk Clone/Hard Drive Clone component i.e. Clone a small-size disk to large-size disk.

          It's hard to answer as I don't know your exact circumstance.

      • lordra on 26/05/2017 - 23:05

        One thing after another: the type of partition or disk where the os exists is not supported.
        Edit: A quick search gives me this, perhaps someone can explain what this means (do not want to hijack this thread): Failed to install Pre-OS, because the simple volume that system partition or boot partition exists is not continuous.

        • Borg on 27/05/2017 - 00:30
          +1

          ….what partition or disk, the new Drive? If it's the new drive with no data on it, just delete any existing partitions on it. You can have WIn10 do this for you as its part of a Fresh install (if booting from DVD or USB stick with new HDD inside PC). Again, without knowing your exact circumstance, am unsure if what I wrote answers your query!
