This product comes with the application software. The easy to follow instructions were great. The process was simple, took a lot less time than it would have if I were to try to make backup disks of everything AND the files were left on the old computer during the transfer. Another great thing is that the files were as they were on the old computer. In other words, they didn't migrate 'into' the files on the new computer... so I can sort them later as I go along and decide where I want them migrated. This also transferred some of my applications (software programs). So, if you have ever tried to copy a whole program to move to a new PC you know how long that might take and how many disks you could need in the process. Many software purchases will allow you to use them on multiple computers (which will save the cost of purchasing them again). Check terms of use on your software and you may find that the average allowance for multiple uses is up to 3 computers (that all belong to you personally). BY FAR this is the best, easiest to use way to transfer programs and files from one PC to another (even if the platforms are different (such as an older version of Windows on one PC and the newer versions of Windows on another).
