Robert, Thanks, I have the Legacy Ver 4 CD. I am not sure of what you mean by number.

Don't forget to save that number before you remove the old Legacy. -Robert On Sun, Nov 21, 2010 at 8:27 PM, Ron Ferguson <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > wrote: Arnie, You first need to install Legacy, from the Legacy Website, onto your Laptop.

This version has been serving me very well as my family tree is not that complex, yet. But growing. However, I am the only one in my family doing and keeping up with the Family Tree as it evolves. I just love the way Legacy presents the data and the types of reports available. (As opposed to an other program I used) I just bought a new Lap Top with Microsoft 7. I want to keep using Legacy and transfer all my data the new Lap Top. What must I do first , second, third, etc. Do I need to up date my Legacy? Probably. Then what? I do have an external Hard Drive where I back up Legacy. Also, some times, I read that to fix something, users are advised to uninstall Legacy and then reinstall. When the reinstall is done how does all the years of data and pictures get back to the file? As you can guess I am not very computer smart and just had my 80th birthday. If someone can help, please keep it simple for a remarkably simple guy who still can learn.
