I have used Zinstall to migrate from an older PC to a new one several times now. It is a fantastic product. I only need to make a few touch-ups. This is a huge time saver.
They also support their product. The tech team is responsive and knowledgeable.

It worked for me with almost no issues.
I just purchased a new all-in-one computer with Windows 11, and wanted to move "everything" from my old Windows 10 all-in-one. I purchased Zinstall solely from its reviews on Trustpilot.
I did the transfer this morning. Total run time was under five hours. The only thing that did not transfer, as warned, was my VPN. I had to jump through a few hoops because I had maxed out on installs, but in less than 15 minutes that was done too.
The setup process to run Zinstall could have been slightly more clear. I had connected both computers with an Ethernet cable, but I have no idea if the transfer utilized that or the Internet. There was no point of selection or feedback that I found.
The transfer was so complete that I logged into bank accounts, brokerage accounts, etc. and none of them knew I was on a new computer. My new computer looks just like my old one. Expensive, but good software. Oh, and all of my cloud accounts functioned perfectly.

I held off getting a new computer for…
I held off getting a new computer for years out of fear of transferring all my programs, passwords, quickbooks etc. I spent over a week and countless hours before and I was not eager at all. I downloaded Zinstall to both old and new computer, followed instructions and went to work. I came home 8 hours later and everything was transferred over, seamlessly. I am overjoyed and I can say it was money VERY well spent.

High quality of Zinstall products and services!
I am very impressed with the quality of the Zinstall software product and the support services provided by their team.
I tried to use a local tech support team to migrate both my data and application files to my new computer. Their migration took over one week with disastrous results.
I then contact the Zinstall team via their chat service which responded within minutes and answered all of my detailed questions before I decided to purchase their software product.
I must admit the software was easy to install on both computers. The migration progress lasted about 4 hours with ongoing progress updates. The final results were as advertised. With minimal "housekeeping" I was able to fully function on the new computer with all data and applications intact.
Full marks to the Zinstall team and their software product.

Unbelievable
I've been tinkering with computers ever since the OS/2 days, so I can confidently say that I have some experience, at least as a consumer (and a bit as a more advanced consumer). Typically, I upgrade every 3-4 years, lately sticking to Lenovos. Every time I switched, 2-3 days would be spent on copying, installing, rebuilding and looking for lost files, notes, passwords and accounts. Not this time!
I took a chance on Zinstall, despite its steep price, because of their promise of quality. And fortunately, they have delivered.
The transfer was smooth, and not too long. I left it running overnight, so likely about 8 hours for approximately 440GB of data. My time out of those 8 hours: probably 10 minutes, the rest is automatic.
New computer asks to be restarted after the transfer, and once that is finished, lo and behold, it really does look just like the old one! Icons were not in the exact same order, but other than that, it was incredible.
I have by now tested most of my commonly used software, starting with Word and Outlook, Turbotax for past 4 years, Matlab, Lightroom.
Data is all there, pictures are all there, documentation and reports, all set.
I did have to reactivate my Eset on the new computer, although that is to be expected.
All in all, a very positive experience.

This product was perfect
This product was perfect. I went from Win 10 Pro to win11 Pro. After running Zinstall I booted up my new PC and it was exactly like my old one except much faster. I don't think I have ever installed a product that was this easy to use and no issues at all. Thank you for saving me hours and hours of work setting up a new PC.

Worked as described. Took a long time.
It took an extremely long time to download. I had 155 GB on my computer. Nearly the entire day. However, once it was complete, everything transferred perfectly.

Worked well and fairly quickly
Used this on a new XPS with Windows 11, and it worked great! Old laptop was Lenovo, Windows 10, 8GB RAM. Transfer was pretty fast, about 3 hours although I did not have that many files and programmes so don't know if that is always like this. Overall would say a positive experience and would do it again on next one.
