Zinstall Review: Best Software To
Transfer To New PC.

Transferring to a new computer is like moving to a new home. Pick the wrong tool, and it’s a nightmare. Pick the right one, and you’ll get to enjoy the new – without losing the old.

Zinstall has by far the highest success rate on the market, is recommended by Microsoft books, by IT pros (who use it as their own tool) – and by millions of regular folks transferring to their new computers. Best part? You don’t need to be a computer guru to use it.

Press reviews, Microsoft books, IT professionals and customers - in their own words.

Press review
There comes a time when you decide to purchase or build a new PC because your old one is starting to not work so well. At that time, you always find yourself wondering what you’re going to do about the files on the old one… When you find yourself in this scenario, there’s one application that can answer your call to migrate data and files: Zinstall WinWin. I can say with pride and assurance that I have never tried anything easier to use or more useful than Zinstall WinWin. It definitely scores above and beyond anything else I can possibly think of at this moment.

My programs were large and very professional, not simple consumer apps. I am here to tell everyone that every single program is working 100 percent. Every single shortcut is working perfectly.

One of the best I've ever found, and that I can recommend completely, are the tools from Zinstall. Zinstall WinWin can be used to migrate from an old PC or OS to a new Windows.

It is exactly as advertised, easy and fast to install, copied all my files, programs, pictures, etc over to my new computer. Your program saved countless hours of reinstalling everything at a very reasonable price. Thanks for a GREAT product.

I used this kit to migrate my old Windows 10 laptop to my new Windows 11 laptop and I am so happy I did. Everything worked very well

Press review
I am sitting here, writing this review on my new laptop. It has everything on it I wanted from my old laptop. That includes iTunes, Sonos, multiple image and video editing software packages, Microsoft Office Professional 2016, and about 25 other programs. Suffice it to say that I am a happy camper and very pleased with Zinstall. If you need to move from one Windows PC to another and don’t want to do it all manually, I can certainly recommend it.

A couple of mouse clicks and a few hours later - DONE!! - a complete and fully functional copy of my old 'puter on the new one. No problems - password, files, everything and anything at all was transferred without incident! Way to go Zinstall!

Moving to a new computer? Zinstall WinWin is what you’ll need to transfer from one PC to another. The transfer can happen wirelessly if both PCs can boot up and get online, or you can use an ethernet cable.

Why do people choose Zinstall over competition?

Zinstall works for any program, not just standard ones.

Competitor products rely on specific, pre-defined lists of applications that they can transfer. Zinstall transfers all applications, even complex, non-standard or old apps, even if you do not have their installers, and don’t remember your activation codes.

Zinstall transfers all files, not just known locations.

Even if your files are stored in a non-standard location on your computer, outside your “Documents” folder, or even just on the C: drive, Zinstall will transfer those files to your new computer.

Zinstall transfers all the little things that make your computer feel like home.

Files are important, but not enough. What about your accounts? Passwords? Emails? Configurations? Favorites? There are dozens of things may feel unimportant, but if they are gone – your new computer won’t feel the same at all.

Zinstall is built for the non-technical user.

Zinstall is extremely powerful under the hood, but does not ask you technical questions and does not expect you to do any technical work yourself. Download, run, press Go. Competitor products tend to assume that you are a computer tech, instead of doing the job for you.

Complete support, even remote connectivity

Our live chat (bottom right of this page) is with real, human techs – not bots. Our toll-free number is 877.444.1588. Our support email is support@zinstall.com. Don’t believe the ads – try reaching us, right now, and getting an answer to your question. Then, try reaching our competitors. You’ll see why customers choose Zinstall every time.

You even have an option to have our engineers connect to your computer remotely, and do the entire transfer for you!

No magic cables, no configurations, 8x faster transfer speeds.

Competitor products require you to buy a special cable, and perform special configurations to make the transfer. Zinstall does not require anything special, and you don’t have to buy any special things. Just run Zinstall on your computers, and everything is automatic from there. Zinstall can even transfer via your wireless connection. Plus, the Zinstall transfer speed is up to 8 times faster than competitor products.

Zinstall supports any transfer scenario.

Our products will get you transfer even if your old computer is broken and doesn’t boot, even if you can’t connect the computers together, even if your new computer has an SSD drive smaller than your old computer’s hard drive, or even if you are upgrading your Windows “in-place”, on the same machine. Whatever it is, Zinstall will do the job.

Questions? Talk to a human, not to a bot.

We don't hide behind chat bots and never-ending menus; you get a human response, and human care. Our techs will help you every step of the way, or even remotely over the Internet as part of the Full Service option. Support is available 24×7 (by appointment out of regular business hours).
