EaseUS Todo PCTrans transfers data, applications, user accounts and personal files to a new PC or disk. It offers PC-to-PC transfer, Backup & Restore and App Migration modes.

Backup files can be saved to a computer, USB external drive, network drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. The product is for Windows PCs, with the Pro page listing Windows 11 support. Todo PCTrans Free costs nothing and limits transfers to 2 GB of data and 5 programs; account transfer is listed. The Free edition excludes dead-computer recovery and program-key scanning. Pro Monthly costs $49.95 a month, Pro Yearly costs $59.95 a year, and Pro Lifetime Upgrades costs $69.95, paid once; each covers two computers. Server costs $299 a year for two servers, and Technician costs $399 a year for multiple PCs or servers and multiple-client service. EaseUS says it uses encryption and other measures to protect data in transit and storage.

Endstate captures Windows applications and settings so they can be restored on another Windows PC. Scanning, saving, and restoring can all run locally and offline. It detects applications installed through EXE/MSI installers and the Microsoft Store using winget, with settings modules for 359 Windows applications. Saved setups are plain files in the user’s Documents folder that can be copied, backed up, or shared. Before restoring, users can review differences and select which detected applications and supported settings to apply. Each settings restore creates a backup that can be reverted with one click. Endstate reinstalls applications through WinGet and Chocolatey, while sponsored integrations can add settings migration support. Portable applications that are not registered in Windows are not detected. The provisioning engine is open source under Apache 2.0. The local product has no telemetry, tracking, or background reporting, and sends no data off the computer unless Endstate Cloud is enabled. The free plan costs 0.00 EUR forever, needs no account, and covers unlimited machines. Endstate Cloud is in early access and not generally available.
