Replacing your old computer with a new one consists of two steps: moving your data to the new computer, and installing your software on your new computer.
Please note that you should copy the data before installing the software. If you have installed the software already, follow the steps below, reinstalling the software in step 3. This will ensure all your data is correctly updated.
Moving Your Data
1. Find the folders you need on your existing hard drive. By default, they are on the root of your C: drive (i.e. you should see them when you open your C: drive).
a. If you use Appraise-It, or Appraise-It and Apex Medina, find the TRADATA folder on your hard drive.
b. If you use Photograph-It Plus as well, find the DATABOOK and PHOTOMGR folders in addition.
c. If you want to retain old Sketch-It sketches for importing into Apex Medina or use in Sketch-It 3.0, find SMSDATA in addition.
