All the other responses are mostly correct. I suspect that while you may have originally installed v7.4, you also just updated to v7.5 maybe by accident and didn't realize it. That is why you now v7.5 is asking you to convert. Before you convert, I'd use Windows File Manager to create a copy of your family file and add the label of v7.4 in the file name and save it just in case you ever want to go back. I don't know why you'd ever want to go back to v7.4 but making that copy gives you the chance. The fire up Legacy v7.5 and go ahead and convert your family file (not the v7.4 one) and enjoy. Keep your v7.4 installation disc and don't throw it away. You can always re-install v7.4 and update from there if needed.

I haven't used my Legacy for some time. I purchased the De Luxe version 7.4 (from my disc) but maybe I updated from there but I can't get into the program to check as explained next. I went in today and tried to open a family file. It said that the format had changed and did I want to convert to the new format and cautioned that if I did that I might not be able to see the data or something like that. I clicked don't convert but I could not open the family file. Would someone please explain what is going on? Thanks for any help.
