Works as promised
Boogaboo1970December 26, 2012
Pros
Very easy to use Free
Cons
This product is flawless for the intended purpose
Summary
With this software, I was able to migrate a 80 Gb Hitachi laptop hard drive to a new 500 Gb WD hard drive (during the process it was docked in a StarTech.com SATA Hard Drive HDD Duplicator Dock). It basically cloned the entire hard drive and formatted the rest of the new hard drive so I can now make use of the 400+ Gb available space. Follow the instructions carefully and 2 hours later, you will have a new hard drive that it is ready to be enjoyed.
Just like the name says, EASY !!!!

Pros
This program is very easy to use, even for a non-techie newbie like me. I think it was well laid out & written, and couldn't of been more self explanatory then it already is. Thanks Acronis for such a simple & easy to use program, I give you 2 Army "WOOAH's"!!
Cons
Wouldn't let me make a boot-able CD, on my 2004 eMachine using Windows XP Home.
Summary
If this non-techie newbie can do it, then you can do it too - as I just cloned my 1st HD - YEAH!! Even though this program is some 10 years old already and has had no updates to it, I feel that this program is worth it's weight in hard drives - LOL!! I used it to up an old factory installed 2004 80GB WD HD to a new 2012 500GB WD Blue HD, and it took less then 40 minutes to do so. Great product, Easy to use, Quick and Painless, even for a caveman like me - THANKS ACRONIS for Migrate Easy 7.0!!!!
Wouldn't create boot CD

Easy, Intuitive Cloning - Using Boot CD in Windows 7
CorkyMuldoonFebruary 5, 2011
Pros
Intuitive interface, easy operation.
Cons
MUST use the utility from a Bootable CD (created through the program) in Windows 7.
Summary
After purchasing/downloading Easy Migrate 7, I did my research (I know, I know - cart before horse). I found that the latest version didn't play completely well with Windows 7. On an Acronis support forum, I learned that Windows 7 cloning required the use of a boot CD and cloning from the it. I believe this has something to do with the additional 100+/- MB partition that 7 uses when booting the OS. Anyway, the cloning process took about 2 hours, after which I moved the new 1TB SATA drive from SATA 2 to SATA 0 connections and - voila! - Windows 7 booted and started normally. I did have to download and utilize a free partition manager from EASUS to extend the C partition to utilize a great deal of space still unallocated, but that was an intuitive, too. All in all, cloning and replacing my hard drive was a simple and straightforward process. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Incredible!

Pros
Best program ever. I had an old computer with xp and a 10 gig HD. I used a USB hard drive enclosure and this program to transfer everything to a 160 gig HD. It took a couple hours but it worked flawlessly. Would recommend it to anyone.
Cons
The only con was that the old drive was FAT32, so now I have a 160 gig FAT32 drive, but I have heard that xp can change it to a NTFS file system. It works great though, I shouldn't complain.
Summary
It is very simple if you use an enclosure. I have not tried using a disk but after reading some of the reviews I think I will stick with the enclosure. Awesome product though. Thanks Acronis!
Trial version is useless
sab478August 21, 2010
Pros
Looks good, but contrary to what others have written the trial doesn't work.
Cons
Takes you through the steps to migrate to the new disk and you think everything is going fine. But at the last step it tells you you can't 'commit' your changes to the new disk as you are running the trial version. A waste of time and of a blank CD!
Summary
WOW !!!!!!! What an easy way to copy or clone a HD.
kathorlenMay 25, 2010
Pros
Did the 15 day trial version. Went from 60 gig to 320 gig with just a few mouse clicks. I had no idea it could be so easy to install a new hard drive and transfer "ALL" the programs, settings, files and XP OS from the old HD to the new.
Cons
My only complaint is that I didn't know about this product years ago.
Summary
I had some initial concerns that the trial version might not be fully functional but I have not found anything missing and everything is working as well it did before. The few mouse clicks to start the process only took a couple minutes of my time. After those initial menu choices Acronis took over and did everything it had to do. Acronis Migrate Easy did take almost 2 hours to do its thing but that's by far a whole lot quicker than it would have taken to reinstall all the programs and applications and I didn't have to sit there and babysit the process. Nor did I have to deal with any activation keys or registrations.The 2 hrs seems longer than what most of the other reviewers have claimed but I think it took longer because I don't have hi-speed USB 2.0. I'm 63, don't speak geek and this is absolutely the best free download I've ever used.
Doesn't work at all
BeestFeesterApril 30, 2010
Pros
None I encountered.
Cons
-bootcd doesn't work, new ISO-image only available in paid version -migrate process needs a reboot, after rebooting nothing happens to proceed the process -removing the program damaged the Vista bootprocess for which a needed a backup to recover!!!
Summary
If this demo should lead to a purchase?! Better think again and don't hazard your computer and yourself for the stress of all misery you encounter.
So easy even a cavema..... you get the point!

Pros
EASE of use! 15 minutes and a mouse click or two and I had a bootable upgraded HD in my laptop.
Cons
1) none 2) none 3) none
Summary
I upgraded to a larger HD on my laptop and read about Acronis True Image. After 2 days and hours of fooling around with it (of course I didn't read the help section) I gave up and thought I'd try the more simple and less expensive Migrate Easy. It too about 15 minutes and the click of a mouse to complete the upgrade and successfully boot from the new HD. Great piece of software!!!!
Easy copy.
dueltommychaOctober 21, 2009
Pros
Free trial lets you have limited days to try it, but it doesn't matter since you will noly copy it once and you are done.
Cons
None, except that you have to pay to keep it forever.
Summary
Free trial is all you really need.
