Jeff, 1. The settings are in the .usr files. You can copy those over. The settings in Options > Customize are in the Legacy.usr file.
2. Yes, but you may need to relink the pictures if they're in documents folders because the ultimate path is different on the new computer. You'll see "question mark" icons in place of the thumbnails. Just click on one of those and let Legacy search for the pictures. A good reason to keep multimedia files under the appropriate sub-folders in Legacy...... Be sure to read http://www.LegacyFamilYTree.com/helpWindowsVista.asp Also, there's an article on the Tips page - Help Center > Tips under "Moving Your Family File From One Computer To Another" Thanks for using Legacy.

I am moving from a PC running XP to one using Windows 7. I installed Legacy on the new PC and it seems to run fine in W 7. 1) How do I transfer my settings? Is that possible onto a different operating system? My new installation is now using the Legacy defaults. 2) If I backup Legacy AND multimedia and then restore that backup to the new PC will the pictures go with it? Since the pictures are not all in Legacy folders (some are elsewhere on my old PC) will these also be moved? Where will the pictures be placed in the new PC which because of its different operating system has differently named folders?
