Hi. You and I are almost in the same boat. Except I stayed with 4.5++ until now and as a DOS guy, am still uncomfortable in the Windows environment. I went to a training session and found it helpful, but it is indeed a difficult change in processes for me, especially since I run by entire business on a 4.5++ ap that I have cobbled together over the years. I probably need to attend another seminar before taking the plunge. I do not want to bring my business to a standstill when I do this. You, on the other hand do not have that 20 years of 4.5++ to hinder you. So dive right in and you'll find all the help you need right here. Welcome.
