Keeping User Settings when upgrading from XP to Win7

Postby bowlesj3 » 18 Dec 2013

Hi,

Below are my notes for keeping the MC user settings when reformatting the C drive on Win XP. However I am wondering if there is a way to keep my MC user settings that I was using on XP so they are ready for installing MC on a Win 7 machine.

Thanks,
John
 NOTE: If installing after a windows partition install with format you should return the directories first so your user settings are all there.
 First return all of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TS Support
 Secondly there is a TS support directory under John Bowles. Therefore return off all “Documents and Settings\John Bowles\Application Data\TS Support.

Hello ,

The easiest case is if you have MC 8.8 (same build numbers) installed on both computers. You could find out what are the particular directories of your MC files and move them.

If you have different versions of MC, please follow this instruction.
