LAPLINK PCMOVER
EXPRESSis atool to help you
migratefiles, your settings and
other data from one PC to
another,without the hassle of
manually having to reinstall
and reconfigure everything.
The program is essentially
asimplewizard that walks
you through every step of
the migration process. It will
first scanyourold system,
helping you to decidewhat
you’d like to transfer.Yourprograms, settings and
data canthen be saved to afile,and asecondcopy
of PCmover Express,installed on thenew PC, will
completethe processfor you.
As Express is thebasic version of PCmover,you
won’t be surprised to findthat there are some
significant restrictions. It will only migrate one user
account, thesettings andfiles
forthe currentlylogged-on
Windows user (other
accounts are ignored). And it
only copies files fromyour
system drive:other driveswill
not be included.Itwon’t
migrateany installed app,
but you can migrateall your
most important data,
smoothly and automatically,
and as most appsare now
in thecloud, getting setup
again should take minutes not hours.
If youneedtoreinstallcomplex individual apps,
already having thisdata on your new system could
make the process much easier.Laplinkisalso doing
its best to ensure the process runs smoothly,
providing userswithatoll-free number,manned
24/7,which youcan call forfree transfer assistance.
PCmover Express11isdesigned to migrate to a
Windows 10 PC fromanolder Windows7computer,
is restrictedtopersonal use only,and won’t migrate
installed apps.You’llneed to buy the Professional
version to move wholeprograms.

WHENYOUBROWSEthe internet, everyone knows
where you are located, where you are logging in
from, the type of web browser you’re using and
even your IP address. You’ll be surprisedhow
much information you’re giving awaywhen you
browse awebsite. With a
fixed IP address, you can
be traced with ease.
As peopleare nowtaking
theironline privacy more
seriously,aquick and easy
wayofhiding your browsing
on theinternet is to sit
behind avirtualprivate
network (VPN), whichwill
createyourown private
tunnelled connection to the
internet, alongwith an IP
address that cannot be
traced back to you.
OkayFreedom is a
Windows VPN service
SteganosOkayFreedomVPN
you can usetoquicklymakeitappear as if you’re
in adifferent country.Apart from privacy and
safety,usingaVPN will also enableyou to browse
location-lockedcontent that might notbeavailable
in youractualcountry; as an example,switchto
the United States and
websites will direct content
at youassumingyou are
from the States (and also
allow US-onlycontent to
be displayed).
OkayFreedom will
quickly enableyou to switch
between the USA,most
European countries,
Australia,Brazil and even
Russia. It will sit in your
systemtrayand autostart
on system boot (you can
switch this off), anditruns
seamlessly without needing
further intervention.
