What happens if I buy a new PC? Can I install this on the new one or is it only good for as long as I own the original PC.

I would say as long as you uninstall from the old PC, then you should be perfectly ok to install on a new PC. I'm pretty close to needing a new computer, so I'm going to test down the road. If not, I will just purchase a new license. Thank you.

Actually . You can clone your system with acronis which is provided with this device. I did this. there was no problem. Everything was same. But I recommend that you had better to install new and clean windows. It makes this device more efficent. In fact after I cloned my system, I decided to install totally new windows. if you dont want to new windows go for it.

If you are comfortable opening up the tower case of your desktop PC, and poking around inside of it, you can probably install this drive. If you're REPLACING your system disk, you need backup hardware to create a new system disk. If you're ADDING a drive, you should first check to see that you have available power and communication cables with the appropriate types of connectors.

I believe you can only re-install to the same computer, but if it is uninstall first then installed to your new PC it should work. If you make an image of your old PC first, you may be able to load back if your new install is not accepted. I plan to try this,but not now.

Yes Just pug it in, your computer should recognize it as a new piece of hardware

No you cannot transfer installed programs, only files. And you may want to set up a transfer folder with only the files you want and know to be safe, otherwise all files will be transferred, and if your old pc has a virus or any sort of corrupted files they will be transferred to your new pc. But the transfer cable is awesome I was extremely happy with it.

I installed it on a laptop and and a pc. I don't think it makes a difference. You get two installs. Shouldn't be a problem.

It installs very easy. Do you have any experience with PC work. All you have to do with most desk tops is remove the side of the PC that gives you access to the inter workings and find a empty PCI card slot. Then make sure the new card pin configuration matches card slot where you removed the old card from prior to attempting to install. It is also important to make sure that you do not have what is called a "Book Case PC " as this takes a special size card which is narrower than the "Standard PC". I hope this helps.

It is not worth buying. My built in on a twelve year old pc was better than it.

No. smile. the version backed up from your old computer has files in it specific to that hardware. It would be nice, though, wouldn't it!

Well if your previous hard drive numbers match up to the new hard drive than you have the required hard drive,and It depends on what you are going to use the hard drive on.If you going to use the hard drive on a laptop pc,and I suggest you check to the hard drive model you are using first.Not all laptop pc or pc hard drive are not all the same,because Some laptop pc or pc use certain required hard drive in them.I would find out what hard drive your laptop pc or pc use before you buy a new hard drive,because Not all laptop pc or pc are the same ok

The paperwork that came with it reflected up through Windows 8. Pretty easy to install using the minidisk that came with it. Nothing to uninstall if your PC has Wi-Fi already installed, then it would be unnecessary, unless you are looking for more speed.

You shouldn't have to. When you install your new adapter it will run on the new drivers and usually relegates the old driver into an archive. Windows has many drivers backlogged as such, in case you ever install/use the old component again. You may; however, be given an option on which one you want to use when it comes up. Similar to choosing an internet connection if you go to log on at a different location.

If the old cable has more wires or wire connections than the new, probably not. If less, at least they may match if it will work from your PC.

Most likely. If it is a different size than original, then the original software seems not to work and you need to do a generic windows install. For me that required finding an old Win ME disk, then upgrading to XP then upgrading to Win7. Ugh. But in the end it all worked out and back up and running.
