Installing MC26

<< < (13/20) > >>

Hendrik:
There are no plans for that yet, sorry.

Sorry for the dumb questions, but my IT skills are weak.  I have J River MC 22 on my old Windows 7 Laptop.  The FLAC files are all on an external 2 TB hard drive.  I now need to get J River on my new Windows 10 laptop (presumably MC 26?).

How do I best do this and retain all the stuff I've put into the system (> 1,200 CDs)?  I'd like to retain MC-22 on the old laptop as a backup if that's possible.  Please be as explicit as you can with your response. 

Thank you for your help.

JimH:
Copy the files any way you can, and try to keep them in the same directory in the same arrangement.  C:\Music as an example.

Then backup your MC22 library on your old machine and restore it on your new one.

The wiki has a topic called Moving Files.

Jim,

Thanks for your response.  I think I understand the issue about moving files.  They're easy since they're on a couple of hard drives, and I understand about keeping the same file structure.

I'm not sure I understand how to get the new MC on the new laptop though.  Do I need to somehow transfer MC 22 itself from the old latptop, or can I just download the MC 26? to the new laptop and have it "find' the files on the hard drive?  I don't think my problem is moving the FLAC files, they're going to stay on the hard drive anyway.  Am I wrong?

Thanks again.

JimH:
You can upgrade to MC26 if you wish and restore a backup from any recent version, including MC22.
