| 1423538 | 2016-07-23 00:31:00 | Probably a dumb question but I am going to ask it anyway. I have an Image backup of my win7 and now that I have win10 there are some programs that I want to restore to win10 from the backup. Can someone advise how I achieve this please.? |

It consists of about 25 Folders. Can I just copy and paste each of those Folders into the newly downloaded program, or is it not that easy.? |

| 1423541 | 2016-07-23 01:24:00 | Generally NO ! You have to reinstall the program from fresh ( as Bevy posted). Normally when doing something like you want you would export / Backup first (what ever option the program has) the current data base/ setup from a working Version Eg: On W7, then on the new install, Import / Restore from backup, and the complete structure, data would be put back as it was. |

| 1423543 | 2016-07-23 03:19:00 | I am still not having any success with this Image copy. I am desperate to reinstall this program as it has many hours of research on it. I have downloaded a copy of the "Legacy" program. If I understand what you are saying, I have to get the Image copy up and running.? That is my problem as I can only see one .exe file in the backup and that won't run. What am I missing here.? |

| 1423544 | 2016-07-23 05:27:00 | Should be able to install the new version, and grab the Legacy data files from your backup. support.legacyfamilytree.com |

| 1423545 | 2016-07-25 03:46:00 | A bit late for you now, probably. When I get a new/upgrade programme ( not a major like Windows or MS Office ) I save the Installation Setup Application File to a external Hard Disk and/or USB. The if System Image fails (I've never tried to restore from one) I can reinstall the programme from the USB. All my data files are separately backed up. | Neil F (14248) | ||
