E I’m a Mac person, so I can’t say for certain ….. but I would think that the upgrade process SHOULD be very straight forward and easy. If you haven’t already purchased the upgrade, you would go to the site: http://www.mackiev.com/ftm/index.html <http://www.mackiev.com/ftm/index.html>. Click on the Store link at the top of the page. You may have to pay full price for the upgrade, I’m not sure. There will be instructions for you to use. Most probably those will be to install the new version and open up your OLD family file in the new program. It will alter it to work with it which means it will NO LONGER work with your old version of FTM. So, make a backup copy of your family file BEFORE you do the upgrade. It should go smoothly for you. There IS always Help available, if you need it.
Actually FTM 2017 is having its release TODAY! I have been doing the Test Drive on my Mac and I’m very impressed with it! Works wonderfully! Regarding upgrade price, found this: Now, it IS being released today so you may have missed the cutoff for getting that upgrade price ???? I own an older version of Family Tree Maker. Can I get a discount on an upgrade? Yes! You can currently pre-order an upgrade to FTM 2017 for $29.95. For more information, make sure you are on the FTM Mailing List which you can sign up for at www.familytreemaker.com <http://www.familytreemaker.com/>. These are your requirements: Windows: Windows 7 and later, including Windows 10, 675 MB hard disk space, 2 GB of RAM, 1024 x 768 resolution. I hope this helps!
