I upgraded. You can install FTM 2014 without deinstalling Ver 16. They run independently and you can run both at same time. Just save your files to your computer or flash drive. Then install 2014. Go to import and select files from your flash drive. I much prefer Ver. 16. Much better interface and easier to navigate. I am running Ver 16, though it is somewhat slower.
Go to windows button and click, click Computer on right side, click system properties, now look under system properties and it will show your "system type". It is probably 32 bit operating system. If it is 64 bit, this will be the source of any problems because Ver. 16 was designed to run on 32 bit system. However, I still use it anyway. As long as you can saving your files in at least two places; say your computer and a flashdrive; Two flash drives if you really want to be safe. Two 4 gig flashdrives is all you need and they are fairly cheap. JR On Saturday, July 15, 2017 at 12:19:25 AM UTC-4, E.
