Search for *.zip files from Explorer to see what you have.

Found the archived zip files for MC 23 (and every other version I've owned). After deleting the "new" library I restored the most recent MC 23 backup. Unfortunately I still have no audio. I can watch the progress of the track being played (both in time and in volume). The time progress is in blue and the audio is in yellow. I don't know if there's any significance to this observation since I've always played from the Theater view.
Still plugging...
JimH:
Did you follow the Audio Setup on the wiki?
SteveMA:
Got my audio back. PC audio setting had somehow changed during the upgrade process. I found an "extra" extension in Google which I disabled and gave me back my PC audio (that had disappeared also). I had to redo setting in PC sound and that was the solution.

Thanks again Jim for helping me with my email mess.
So - I have four old JR licenses:
Win 18, Win 19, Master 21 and Mac 25.
I'm senior on fixed income. Don't want to spend w/o good reason.
I use MC in audio-only mode.
Was using Macbook only for five years until new employer required Win OS
for application for work from home. So thought might as well install JR on my new Win notebook.
What to do? I could install Win 21 as have that old Masters license, but 21 is old - right?
What version concensus recommended for Win OS that's stable for audio-only use?
Thinking those JR Win 18, 19 licenses I have, might as well forget 'em - they're really old.
Concerned if use Win 21, about stability and about security. Guessing older versions no longer updated. I've been advocating for audio-only "lite" version of JR for years, but seems I'm out
of touch. Users today want it all within an application.
We old timers can be a real PITA. I get that!
Awesome Donkey:

There's no need for this. Newer Media Center versions have an option called Audio Only Mode, which when enabled disables all the extra features like video, images, etc. Plus you can go into MC's Options > General > Features and disable features you don't need/want. You should be able to do that in MC21 and disable all the extra features you don't want.
