Question for the developer:

I will amend my previous question where in my question, I have “… attach an empty drive on a second computer.” I misspoke, knowing that both disks must have an operating system, therefore, the second drive would have an operating system already installed. The Fast Move program would transfer other programs to that operating system.

Laplink is the leader in consumer program transfers between computers. They started with a telephone modem cable, then to an Ethernet cable between the two computers. Now, they can handle various ways of transferring between two computers. What advantage does Fast Move offer that LapLink does not?

If the user has an internal network, even just two computers attached to the same router, they can transfer files between the two, much faster than transferring through the Internet, so is Fast Move transferring files through the local network, or is it transferring through the Internet? If transferring through the Internet as opposed to the local network, what is the logic for doing so? I can understand that if two computers are in two entirely different locations in the world, then the Internet transfer would be necessary. Short of that, it does not seem necessary to go through the Internet.

I await your response to these questions. Thanking you in advance.
