Todo PCTrans

Welcome

Thanks for using EaseUS Todo PCTrans. Usually, a new computer (PC) comes with faster processing, more memory, and enhanced graphics. After purchasing a new PC, one of the most daunting tasks is to figure out how to transfer the accounts, settings, programs, and data from the old PC to a new one and maintain routine jobs as usual.

Todo PCTrans is born to make the migration process easier for you. This powerful and cost-effective application is able to move all of your selected accounts, settings, applications, files, and folders between 2 computers in an easy and simple way, and it is also able to transfer programs and data from a smaller partition to a larger one for releasing space within a computer. 

Todo PCTrans transfers your PC through the network connection (local area) or compressed image file, and both source and target computer require a client of Todo PCTrans installed. It is worth mentioning that the two computers can also be directly connected via an ethernet crossover cable when using the network connection method. 

Glossary

The source PC is the "old" PC that contains the accounts, applications, files, and settings that you wish to move to the destination "new" PC.

New PC/Destination PC

The "new" PC is the PC to which the accounts, applications, files, and settings are moved.

Transfer

The process of copying all of your selected accounts, applications, files, and settings from your "old" PC to your "new" PC.

Transfer

There are four methods of transferring: PC to PC/Backup & Restore/App Migration/Data Rescue.


 
PC to PC is able to transfer applications, data, accounts, and settings between two network-connected PCs. 

Backup & Restore prepares an image file to include applications, data, accounts, and settings in advance, then transfer from the image to the target PC. It transfers between two PCs or on the same PC after reinstalling the system. This method can also be used to back up your programs, data, and accounts.

App Migration only transfers applications from one to another partition on the internal hard disk.

Data Rescue is able to migrate the content from the old PC that failed to work properly, by connecting the disk of the old computer to the new computer.

PC to PC

Connect source and target PC

1. Launch Todo PCTrans and select PC to PC. The IP address information on the current PC will be stated at the bottom.

2. Click PC to PC button and get the window to choose the current PC as the new PC(target)or the old PC(source). Target PC is the PC you want to transfer the applications and files to, while the Source PC is the PC you want to transfer the applications from. 

3. After you select your drive, the product will scan all the computers in the same network and list them on the left panel.  Select a computer according to the username (Windows account) and IP address, then input the password of the account on that computer and select the transfer direction to connect the two computers. If you do not have a password for that account, leave it blank and directly click Connect.

In case no PC is detected, a page will be presented containing useful hints to help you troubleshoot the issue. 

1. Visit www.pcmove.net to download and install the app on the other PC.

2. Make sure the two PCs are connected to the same LAN.

3. Turn off all the safety tools and firewall temporarily

 

Todo PCTrans also provides the verification code method to connect the two computers. The Verification code can be located on the machine you selected. 

If the PC cannot be listed directly, please click the Connect Manually to add it via IP or computer name.

Note:

Please ensure the source and target PCs are on the same LAN and the target PC has the same version of Todo PCTrans installed.

Select the content for transfer

1. Todo PCTrans needs some time to enumerate (load) all the applications, data, and accounts from the old (source) PC. The edit button will be clickable when enumeration completes. The required time varies due to the amount of data that needs to be transferred.

2. You will see all the applications, files, folders, accounts, and settings found by our product in the list. 

Creating a restore point for the operating system of the other PC ensures that you are always able to roll back your system to the status before transfer. However, enabling this option requires several minutes to finish the process.

3. Tick the check box to select the applications you want to transfer.

Note:

There are three categories of software compatibility:

Supported: the application is fully compatible with new PC.

Unsupported: the application is not compatible with new PC.

Existing: the application already exists on both PCs, transfer is not necessary.

4. Regarding Files option, all the root folders will be listed after a double click on the disk icon. You are able to check them for transferring.

Migration Settings include File Filter and Duplicate File.

5. Switch to the Accounts option, all the accounts on the source PC will be listed in the program. 

By selecting an account from the list, you will be asked to authorize the password of this account. After the authorization, select what content you want to transfer in this account.
