FastMove vs ForensiT User Profile Wizard

FastMove transfers files, folders, applications, settings, user data, and device drivers between Windows computers. Users can select applications to migrate rather than reinstall them individually, and the software can move accounts, passwords, desktop settings, and other profile data. It also transfers custom files, folders, and browser favorites without cloud uploads or USB copying. Its Sync Folders tool synchronizes and merges folders between PCs locally. FastMove communicates between the source and target computers over a local network and supports Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It is designed for home users and does not support roaming profiles, Windows NT Domains, or transfers between Windows and Mac. The trial allows unlimited migration of custom files and favorites; moving software, users, drivers, and sync folders requires the full version. One-time plans start at $29.95, paid once for one computer. Each license key covers a source and target PC pair; purchase unlocks the program indefinitely, while expiry affects free updates and email support.

ForensiT User Profile Wizard configures an existing Windows user profile for a new account while keeping its data and settings in place. The in-place migration does not move, copy, or delete data, and the tool supports local, Active Directory, hybrid, and Entra ID/Azure AD accounts. It also supports Active Directory and Samba domains, including moving a computer from a domain back to a workgroup. The free Personal Edition is GUI-only. Professional Edition costs $149.95, paid once, billed per technician, and provides a perpetual license for GUI migrations one computer at a time, without automation or scripting. Corporate Edition costs $3.50 a year, billed per seat for a one-year subscription, with a 50-license minimum; it adds automated migrations, scripting, command-line use, automatic script generation, and secure execution of additional code. Professional and Corporate push migrations require File and Printer Sharing and discoverable machines. A Deployment Kit can create a single executable for rollout through Group Policy or desktop management software. The tool does not migrate profiles between computers. Windows downloads are listed for Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 7, and Windows XP.
