I'm not a tech-savvy guy. Usually these types of products don't work for me, but surprise, surprise. This worked as advertised. I set up the software on both machines (Dell 5100 laptop w/ Windows XP to Dell E510 w/ XP), hit "ok" and went to dinner with my wife. I returned a little over an hour later and my new computer looked like my old computer. I use these computers for work and I have a lot of data on them. I spent over an hour reviewing everything and I didn't see anything it missed (except for a few empty folders). Even Outlook was configured just like it was before. I paid $18 for this a few days ago. Great investment.
