I’ve used Zinstall twice now to transfer files and programs to a new computer. I am not a computer whiz, just typically learning as I go for whatever I need to do. Zinstall is user-friendly, easy to download and activate, and got the job done smoothly. Security software can need some extra attention, but even that was simple enough to tweak. Totally worth the time and money; definitely recommended,

Prodotto efficace. Consigliato se dovete trasferire tutti i dati da un pc vecchio a uno nuovo.

I am impressed with the Zinstall software and ease of implementation to execute a migration. In the fine print I do have one suggestion: there does not seem to be an immediate reply to inquiries leading to some concern or even doubt about the capabilities of the software and frankly, the company. The angst for me was being in the dark and not knowing if help would arrive today, tomorrow, three days, next week, or ??????? If it would be possible to answer each phone call, chat, or voice mail quickly, it would make a big difference. I spent several days sticking like glue to my phone and hoping that someone would call. I understand that it takes time to answer and respond to inputs and questions, but I believe there would be significant improvement if I had just received a simple response, somewhat quickly, that simply said “we are currently backlogged but we should be able to contact you in the next 24 hours or so”, or “all of our technical agents are in the process of helping other clients at this time and someone should be able to contact you by Tuesday afternoon”, or “Our current scheduling backlog is approximately 12 hours. We will respond to your issue withing one day and possibly/hopefully sooner as our in-process work permits.” In the end I am very pleased with my “new” system and all Zinstall issues have been resolved. I still have a few issues to work with Dell and/or Microsoft. Having a liaison with these companies might be a positive impact; especially if you had a system for handoff of specific issues and contact information. Again, I have had a good experience and would recommend Zinstall to anyone going through the same process that I have.

The results of the transfer were highly desirable and it really amazed me. Tech support was great except for a 3 day waiting period for them to reply. Still worth the snafu

Superb communication, I was not sure if I needed assisted or self managed migration. The product was superb and transferred everything in minutes. As described, when the target PC was turned onn it looked exactly like the source with everything in place!

I looked at all the reviews before buying this software, and I noticed there was no middle ground it either said great or rubbish, so I decided to give it a go, and here are my observations. The software itself is very easy to use and it does do 95% of the job when switching machines, as we all know switching machines with a lot of software can take hours and hours and this software certainly cut this down immensely. Computers are personalized, the look, feel and have different software packages depending on users so there were a few little niggles at the end, mainly the Microsoft packages such as MS Office or Visual studio which either required reinstalling or just reactivating with the product keys. All in all, in my opinion, this was money well spent it does the lion's share so saves a lot of time, and it retains the look and feel of the original machine. I used it to move Windows 8.1 > Windows 10 on a new machine. I would recommend this software, but to get the most out of it you really need to have more than a basic knowledge of computers.

I went from a Windows 10 installation that was so messed up that it couldn't even update windows or office anymore. I used Zinstall to migrate to a new computer running Windows 11 and it took a few hours but basically did about 95% of the job very well - it couldn't handle some network stores and missed some shortcuts and desktop personalization but all in all the best $130 I've spent in a long time. It took very little time to get the rest of the stuff straightened out. If I hadn't used Zinstall I'm sure I'd still be migrating things a week later.
