FastMove review
A budget-friendly Windows tool for transferring applications, profiles, files, and settings between PCs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FastMove is Windows desktop software for moving data from an old PC to a new one. It is aimed primarily at home users who want to transfer applications, user profiles, Windows settings, device drivers, files, folders, and browser favorites. Support covers Windows 7 through Windows 11. Selective migration lets users choose specific categories and items, while folder synchronization supports ongoing file alignment between PCs or locally.
Pricing is structured as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. The 1 Computer — Online plan costs $29.95 and includes download delivery. The 3 Computers — Online plan costs $39.95, the 5 Computers — Online plan costs $49.95, and the 10 Computers — Online plan costs $59.95, all with download delivery. Retail options cost $49.95 for 1 Computer, $99.95 for 3 Computers, $179.95 for 5 Computers, and $249.95 for 10 Computers, with a retail license included. A trial offers limited migration capabilities.
Transfer flexibility is a central part of FastMove’s design. Online migration works between PCs on the same local network, while offline migration can use removable or network storage. Compatible USB cables provide another workflow. The checkbox-based controls are useful when a full clone is unnecessary, and the application migration feature broadens the product beyond file copying. However, application licenses may require reactivation after migration, and the product is focused on moving and synchronizing data rather than backup or recovery. Choose FastMove for a Windows-to-Windows transfer with multiple connection methods and a low one-time cost; choose an alternative if backup and recovery are central requirements.
