Complete Windows PC Migration
Budget: $30 – $250 CAD
I need my entire Windows workstation—documents, applications, user profiles, settings, licences, the lot—moved over to a brand-new Windows machine with zero data loss and minimal downtime. I’m not asking for selective installs; I simply want everything that runs today to run tomorrow on the new hardware exactly as it does now.
Here’s how I picture the hand-off working:
• You assess both PCs remotely, confirm drive sizes, partitions, and any encryption in place (BitLocker, etc.).
• Using your preferred toolset—whether that’s USMT, Laplink PCmover, full-disk imaging, or another proven method—you copy every program and file, verify integrity, and handle activation keys so nothing breaks post-transfer.
• Once the migration is complete, you walk me through a quick checklist: apps launch, printers are recognised, network shares map correctly, email clients open with all mail intact, and personal files match byte-for-byte.
Acceptance criteria
• New PC boots straight into my familiar Windows desktop with no missing shortcuts or prompts for missing DLLs.
• All applications open without re-activation requests.
• Data and folder structure remain identical, including hidden and system files.
• Old PC is left untouched so I can keep it as a fallback until I sign off.
If this sounds like your everyday workflow, let’s schedule the move and lock in a time that keeps my work interruption to the bare minimum.
