EaseUS Todo PCTrans User Guide

Welcome
Thanks for using EaseUS Todo PCTrans. Usually, a new computer (PC) comes with faster processing, more
memory, and enhanced graphics. After purchasing a new PC, one of the most daunting tasks is to figure out
how to transfer the accounts, settings, programs, and data from old PC to a new one and maintain routine
jobs as usual.

Todo PCTrans is born to make the migration process easier for you. This powerful and cost-effective
application is able to move all of your selected accounts, settings, applications, files, and folders between 2
computers in an easy and simple way, and it is also able to transfer programs and data from a smaller
partition to a larger one for releasing space within a computer.

Todo PCTrans transfers your PC through the network connection (local area) or compressed image file, and
both source and target computer require a client of Todo PCTrans installed. It is worth mentioning that the
two computers can also be directly connected via an ethernet crossover cable when using the network
connection method.
