And now I get this error message on running it in the source laptop on Win 8.1

Thanks

Do I need to run the updated plug in on both the source laptop and target laptop?

I haven't updated the plug in yet....that was what happened with v 2.9

I am using Win 11 but it doesn't appear to open a browser ( My default is Chrome with DuckDuck Go as the search sreen) for this screen as none of the tabs/boxes at the bottom are clickable

I was running version 2.9 of the plug in. I will update it. I was just running the plug in from Tools/Plugins. I then got a message box in red .....Important please read. I clicked OK continue and then on the Backup and Restore Family Historan Settng 2.9 I clicked the help and Advice button at the b...

I have installed FH V6.2.7 on my new laptop (the target laptop) running Win11. I have copied over all my data fro my source Win 8.1 laptop as per the copy and migration guide in the knowledge base. I have registered my new installation copy of FH6.2.7. When I tried running the Backup and restore plu...

Thank you

To clarify: I backed up the old settings in AS on my old (source) laptop. I went to download AS on the new (target) laptop but couldn't get 7.3, only 7.5. I thought I would try updating on the source laptop and then got the error message. I have downloaded 7.5 on the target laptop and overwritten th...

Helen, yes it has come to the end of it's useful life. I am not even sure it would update to Win 10 and reluctant to try until I have moved everything over to the new laptop. it is lovely having the two next to each other both being able to be on the internet!!

Mike, thank you, yes I am following the article. I have it open on my new laptop whilst I do the necessary on my old laptop.

Now I am torn in two about the AS upgrade!

Nick. Will it make any difference if I have run the backup in the old version on my source laptop and then use those folders to overwrite the folders created by the 7.5 version on my new "target" laptop?

Thanks, Nick. At the very worst if the settings don't go over ok then I can have the two versions up side by side and make changes that I can. As a matter of interest I found this on the internet, not that it really means much to me https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/173758/the-requ...

I am preparing AS 7.3.3 and FH 6 to migrate from old laptop Win 8.1 to new laptop running Win 11. I have run the backup AS from Tools but noticed that the only version I could download onto my new laptop was 7.5. I then tried to update my old laptop to 7.5 so I could rerun the AS Backup to copy the ...

Thank you both for the thumbs up.

Thank you Mike, I will search for the upgrading/migrating topics to view previous threads.

I am one of those very happy people that have used AS since I bought FH version 6 back in 2016. |It has made inputting sources so much easier for me. I haven't done much FH over the covid era due to health issues (not covid related) and only just reached a point to be ready to get back to it. Can I ...

I use baptism as they are all recorded in a baptism parish register regardless of age.

Thank you Jane.

It was lovely to meet you at Rootstech and thanks for the quick help with sources in v 6 and using witnesses. At the moment I use Ancestral Sources for BMD certificates and census.

I am a low level user of FH and been using it for 2 years now. I mainly input data, sources and rarely use the diagram view to find people. I print a few basic reports for my paper files and use a few queries to find information I want. I have been reading the DNA posts on here and the various metho...

The v7 demo showed some really exciting developments in reports and also template source citations amongst other things.

Thank you

I have been trying to work out the best way to record something with further research needed and have read the two methods of Named Lists and Custom Attributes but not yet worked out which is the best approach for me. Giving an example: Entering a census and you find a visitor/boarder/lodger that ma...

Thank you everyone. I did just want two different projects open so that I can amend Named Lists in each project as a cross check that everybody goes over in the new tree which it seems I can do. I am doing this as a brand new start rather than wanting to import corrupt sources etc.

Thank you for the explanation. I need to get my head round the best way to do this. I certainly need your suggestion to use the Named list so that as new family members are added e.g by census entries, they are added to the list so that I know I need to go back and research until happy complete. I c...

John Wright Can you please explain your solution: This post started with the question, "How can I mark records I've finished copying from FTM?" The solution - a new 'Named list' and 'Set Marks using Query". Slick & easy. I am in the process of restarting in FH from FTM with a blank new project. I ha...
