Laplink Software, the maker of the well-known "PCmover" utility, has a longstanding reputation for enabling seamless migration of applications, files, and settings between computers. Intel has partnered with Laplink to support Windows 11 migration, meaning organizations and individual users transitioning to Windows 11—often on new, Intel-powered hardware—have a formally-endorsed, reliable means to move everything from their old PCs to new Windows 11 machines.

Why this partnership matters:​

  • Windows 11’s hardware requirements: Many older PCs aren’t eligible for an in-place upgrade. Customers need to move data and apps to new, compliant hardware.
  • Pain of migration: Moving not just files, but also applications, settings, and profiles, is a perennial headache for users and IT—a problem Laplink PCmover is designed to solve.
  • Official endorsement: When OEMs like Intel partner with established utilities like Laplink, it signals robust compatibility and ongoing support for enterprise migration at scale—something highly relevant for businesses managing hundreds or thousands of endpoints.
  • Intel’s motivation: Facilitating smooth transitions encourages hardware upgrades, benefiting both Intel and the broader Windows ecosystem.

What PCmover does:​

  • Transfers applications (not just data) from old to new PCs.
  • Moves user accounts, settings, and profiles.
  • Can work across physical and virtual environments, with automation for batch or enterprise migration scenarios.

Broader Context: Windows 11 Migration Tools​

  • Microsoft has recently developed its own Windows Backup and migration solutions for both consumers and organizations, but deep customization, legacy support, and non-cloud scenarios mean that third-party tools like Laplink still fill key gaps, especially in enterprise and complex environments.
