Boxed product is opened. Cost $39.99 from Amazon but will sell if you could use it for $20. It is sealed in box. See link for product information.

I used PC Mover to move my files and more importantly, my programs from my Windows 7 laptop to my new Windows 10 laptop. The program is a little complicated to use. It did not move the most important program, namely my Microsoft Office program. This was my primary objective in getting this program. So, that was a disappointment. It did, however, move other programs which made up for the cost. So, overall for me, it was worth the cost.
If I wasn't concerned about moving the programs I would have simply used an external hard drive. As a previous poster indicated not only will it move the files it will also be a backup unto itself.
