That program seems to do nothing that you can't with a few clicks of your mouse anyway. You're still left with the task of reinstalling all your software unless you go for the paid version. (I'd prefer to install programs manually one-by-one anyway. Then any conflicts that may arise will be flagged up so that, for example, you can require Windows 10 to emulate Windows 7).

I can't really see much against using that program but I simply wouldn't bother.

Thanks Buenchico
I will re-install my programmes manually but was just wondering about the easiest way to tsfr my music, docs and photos. Could it be done via WiFi over my home network ?

I'd just use a USB memory stick. However, as you've suggested, you could also create a HomeGroup:

Thanks again for such a prompt reply. Will definitely try the USB stick first.
