Drives: If the old PC contains more disk drives than the new PC, PCmover will create a folder for each
drive that does not exist on the new PC.
To modify how a drive is transferred to the new PC, click Change. In the dialog box that appears, you
may modify the drive and/or default folder to which the drive from the old PC is transferred. You may
also choose to not transfer the drive from the old PC. Click OK when finished, and then click Done.
File Filtering: To exclude certain file types from the transfer, click File Filters.
Some file types are already set up for you in this screen, such as temporary files (.tmp). These files are
generally small, but if you have a large number of them, they can take up quite a bit of hard drive space.
To exclude any of these file types, select the check box(es).
To exclude other file types not shown on this screen, click Add and type the file type extension(s) of the
file(s) you wish to exclude. For instance, if you want to exclude all files in .jpg format, this is where you
list “*.jpg”. Click Done when finished listing file types.
Preferences and Settings: Other custom changes can be made to the transfer settings if needed. Only
advanced users should modify selections in this section.
