Jim,
If you are taking the opportunity of upgrading from Legacy 7.5 to Legacy
9 as you switch computer and you haven't been linking media, that's a
great plan.
Restoring a backup is the easiest way to change to a new computer as
well as the easiest way to upgrade from 7.5 to Legacy 9. As part of the
restore process you'll get a message about needing to do a file
conversion so Legacy 9 can read the file. That's nothing to stress about.
However it would be best to do a File Maintenance - Check/Repair of your
file on your old computer first.
Make one backup, do the Check/Repair and then make a new backup to use
on the new computer.

Been a long time since I needed to change computers, so want to
confirm my "plan".
On the old computer with Legacy 7.5, I will do a Back Up of my
current data file, to a Thumb drive, renaming the Back Up. "New Family
File (date)".
On the new computer, I will install Legacy 9. Open it and select
Restore Family File, then navigate to my Thumb drive and select the
"New Family File (date)".
I have not been linking multi media files to my current family file on
Legacy 7.5, so should not need to worry about those files needing to
be moved.
Is this the right way to do it?
Anything else?
TIA, Jim
