Please look in the Knowledge Base under Family Historian Installation Guide for details of migrating from an old PC to a new one running Windows 7.

The link is http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id ... tion_guide.

There is advice on installing FH, and how to move your project and settings and preference options.
