Got a new PC and need to move games, programs and data from the old PC to the new PC?
Without a doubt, this is one of these moments where you wish you would be a Mac owner having a solid “Migration Assitant” built right into your Operating System…
But let’s face it, nothing beats a PC running Windows XP or Vista (if you must) when it comes to availability of high quality games. As a PC gamer you will likely have invested hours and hours into dowloading games, software patches and upgrades - not to mention all those saved game profiles, map editors, mods etc.
If you got $30 bucks to spare, SoftRescue Gamer Edition ($29.95) might just be what you are looking for.
SoftRescue Gamers Edition 2 migrates games from one PC to another quickly, easily, and safely, leaving the user with an operating system completely free of viruses, worms, hijackers, and spyware. Plus, SoftRescue Gamers Edition 2 also provides:
- An easy to use interface with step-by-step instructions and drag and drop functionality
- Fast and easy installation on all supported Windows platforms
- Multiple media type transfer options and high-speed transfer rates
- Comprehensive reporting that provides status of games transferred
- A unique approach of not copying games, but installing games onto new systems resulting in a virus, worm, spyware free migration and a registry that includes only the required application files
- Migration of all saved games together with patches, extension packs and personal settings
- An automatic live update feature that keeps applications current
- Adjustable compression settings to ease game transfer and make the archive file smaller
- Unlimited transfers between an old PC and a new PC
- Use on more than on set of PCs, save and use on your next new PC transfer
The SoftRescue family of products also includes SoftRescue Pro and SoftRescue Small Business― both created to help users eliminate the unpleasant tasks that come with the purchase of a new computer. Designed to be self-evident and user-friendly, users can virtually recreate the feeling and flow of their old computer onto their new system with minimal downtime.
“As individuals purchase new computers and move to Windows XP or Vista, they need a fast and efficient way to move their games with minimum downtime,” said AmeriChannels CEO Craig Letourneau. “SoftRescue Gamers Edition 2 quickly searches for all installed games, as well as the associated extension packs and patches, and easily moves them from the old PC to the new PC. Users get extra value because not only can they perform multiple transfers between the old and new computer, they can also use SoftRescue Gamers Edition 2 on two different sets of PCs. In addition to moving games to a newly purchased computer, they can also save the software to use the next time they purchase a computer. SoftRescue Gamers Edition 2 is the strongest migration software at a great price and value for the PC Gamer.”
