I would like to upgrade the hard drive and also change from XP to Windows 7 in the computer that I use for my Flex 3000. (I am currently using PowerSDR 2.7.2 on the XP machine.) I am comfortable with computer upgrades but I have never installed my 3000 on any other computer, and just to be sure that I don't mess anything up could someone advise if the following steps are correct.
1.. Copy my existing PowerSDR database to a thumb drive. 2.. Change out the hard drive and install and setup Windows 7. 3.. Run the 2.7.2 integrated installer. 4.. Reboot 5.. Connect the Flex 3000 to the computer and then turn it on. 6.. Start PowerSDR. 7.. Import the original database from the thumb drive (I am assuming I can do this since it is from the same version of PowerSDR.) 8.. I am also assuming that the software will detect that the firmware in the radio had been previously upgraded when 2.7.2 was installed on the XP machine. One of my concerns is that I don't want to mess up the firmware in the radio. Also if needed, would I be able to switch out the hard drives and go back to the XP installation and still use the Flex 3000? Thanks in advance for looking at this and for any comments/suggestions.
