Kim,
On your new computer in Legacy go to Options>Customize>6. Locations and
see what paths show those are where you need to put copies of your zip files
6.1 My family files are in the C:\Users\username\Documents\Legacy Family
Tree\Data\ this is global for all family files(gbl)
6.2 and my media files are in C:\Roots\ this is a (ff) for family file
can be different from other family files.
6.3 is for temp folder which is a global setting.
For more info check the help files for transferring files and options.
Now from your old computer just copy the Legacy Family Tree\Data\ folder
and save it to a portable usb device
On your new computer open explorer and paste the contents of the Data
folder into the same folder on new computer.
Now Open Legacy and if old file is open close it or use Tools>Restore
family file window opens to select your family file with the latest date.
or if not open then launch Legacy then File>Restore family file.
then
to restore your media then unzip it to the root drive letter where you
want your media kept. It will restore all directory paths to the media
and place them in the same folders as old one had.
or use media linker to find all your media.
Hope this helps
