Provided both copies are for your personal use and not both in use at the same time I think you are ok with just one copy. The easiest way to copy your family file over would be to backup to an external drive or cloud storage and restore the file on the other machine. Bearing in mind that you will want to keep both files concurrent, your best bet would be to store your working file in something like Dropbox so that whichever one you work on, the other gets updated. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
