Legacy 10 has been released and is free for everyone. It has all the
Deluxe features for free. It has the same look and feel as Legacy 8 and
9. It has some new features and reports and tweaks to existing features
and reports.
The new features are listed on the renewed Legacy website. The full list
is in this blog:
<https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2024/06/the-new-legacy-family-tree-10-is-here-and-its-all-free.html>
It's advised to be running Windows 10 or Windows 11. Not all features
are guaranteed to work on earlier Windows versions.
Here's the things to do to make the process as trouble free as possible
with some comments on where a few people out of the thousands who have
updated have been encountering problems. Note it will overwrite Legacy
9. You can't run both versions as the settings are all locked to the
same folder ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ folder 1. Run
File > File Maintenance > check/repair on your files. You should be
doing this regularly to keep your database healthy. 2. Verify that there
are no broken media links. Tools>Media Relinker You can fix them in
Legacy 10 but you need to know they weren't caused by the upgrade. 3.
Backup your family file and media files. Preferably make sure you also
have these backups off your computer either in a cloud or on external
drive. 4. Download 10 from the website. Some people encounter problems
because a) they make a typo when entering their email address, b) the
email goes to spam or doesn't arrive. If it doesn't arrive try a
different email address c) the link in the email doesn't work and they
need to copy and paste the link to their browser.
5. Install 10 and enjoy. Some people encounter problems with the
installation because their security software blocks it or part of it.
Pausing the security software during installation solves that. If
concerned you can go into Aeroplane mode/come offline for the
installation. If there is any problem after installation RESTART your
computer and it is usually solved. Have fun, Cathy
