You no longer need to worry about whether you moved all your plugins, PDFs, FDFs, AIs, PDXs, or any other documents you’ve been working on to the right place. Zinstall WinWin has moved them all where they need to be.
This is also a handy way to migrate anything else from your computer to another. And by ‘anything’, we really mean anything – any other app, all the settings, profiles, documents, plugins, registry entries… You name it, Zinstall will transfer it, and virtually duplicate your entire PC when you need it.
The best part about this platform is that it works across all modern Windows machines, including Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Vista, and even XP.
