Buzz 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2020 My Computer died, but not completely, can still open the two projects in TMG at the present time. I now have a new computer and have successfully installed TMG 9 from the original disc. Clearly I don't want to lose the data in trying to cut and paste from the old machine to the new. I would like to know the exact steps to correctly move my projects. The original install path is C:/users/mydocuments/TMG9/projects I have Lee Hoffman;s book "The Master Genealogist," circa 2004 which gives the default path as C:\Program Files\The Master Genealogist\sample. I don't think this is correct. Somewhere in my memory Microsoft didn't like mixing data into program folders. So far I have copied onto an external drive the whole TMG folder containing backups, exhibits projects etc. My inclination is to copy the whole folder into the my documents folder. I have also copied the Backup Folder and Project Folder from the old machine to the external drive. Thanks for advice on providing the correct solution to my dilemma.
