Transfer your data to a larger boot drive

Copying your hard drive data to a new drive isn't fun. It can take days--or even weeks of work, aggravation and often frustration. Can't find a program disk? Don't remember where you got that video codec or device driver? Missing your favorite font?

Using migration software to migrate a boot drive is a very different story. With migration software you move everything from the old drive to the new one in one simple operation. That's where a software like EzMigration comes in. EzMigration doesn't copy your files one by one. It migrates the whole drive at once. That means: everything.

To create a bootable drive that contains working applications, you need to move the data as one big drive image. EzMigration creates that drive image, or image copy, and transfers it to the new or larger drive for you.

EzMigration makes copying your drive a simple drag and drop operation. So you can skip the hours and hours it normally takes to rebuild a drive and the days or weeks it can take until you get all your applications re-installed and running just the way you like them again. With EzMigration, all it takes is a few quick mouse clicks and you're done.

Sometimes called disk copy or drive copy software, drive migration software gives you the ability to move, or migrate, everything on your hard drive en masse. When you migrate a drive, you don't just migrate your data files. EzMigration drive migration software transfers a disk image or drive image, which is essentially a clone of your original drive, to your new drive. When you clone a drive in this way, you don't just migrate your data files. You transfer all of your installed applications and preferences as well. EzMigration will even migrate the boot partition (and any other partitions) from your old drive. Your new clone drive will even include all of the software updates and the hardware driver updates that you have installed on your computer over the years.

Sure, you could go digging around searching for all of your old installation disks. You could visit all of your software and hardware vendor sites to find their most recent updates and drivers and you could spend hours or days reconfiguring your applications so they work the way they did before. Or, you could just sit back and let EzMigration migrate your hard drive for you. And you could spend your time doing something you enjoy doing--because EzMigration eliminates all the hours of work normally associated with rebuilding a drive. It also seamlessly handles any needed partition expansion (which may sound complicated but--with EzMigration doing all the work--is easy as can be.)
