Zinstall Easy Transfer review
A low-cost Windows transfer tool for personal data, profiles and settings—not programs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Zinstall Easy Transfer is Windows software for moving personal content from an old PC to a new one. It is aimed at people replacing or upgrading a Windows desktop or laptop who need to carry over files, documents, pictures, music, videos, emails, accounts, passwords, user profiles and settings. The transfer supports different Windows versions and PC manufacturers, and one license covers both computers. Its automatic workflow is designed around a direct move between the old and new machines.
Pricing is straightforward: the Easy Transfer plan costs $59 as a one-time purchase, with no free plan. That plan includes transfer of files but not installed programs, Wi-Fi or wired network transfer, and one license for both PCs. The feature set also includes selective transfer, so users can exclude unwanted content rather than moving everything. For personal migrations that center on data, profiles and settings, the single paid tier keeps the purchase scope clear.
The main boundary is application migration. Installed programs are explicitly excluded, so software will need to be handled separately on the new computer; users who require that capability should consider Zinstall’s separate WinWin product. Easy Transfer is therefore a focused choice for personal content and Windows profile migration, particularly when preserving the old computer unchanged matters. It is not the right fit for moving applications or for users migrating beyond Windows.
