Hello, I'm looking for a bit of help please. I've used GnuCash for many years on a laptop which is now struggling to keep going. I've got a newer (second hand) laptop and need to do a one off transfer of my GnuCash files to it so I can use it instead in future. I'm familiar with backing up my files, so I know I can locate them on my old laptop. I've also installed GnuCash on my new laptop. Here are the things I need help with: (a) I should be able to copy my data files to my new laptop and open them using GnuCash. However, I'm sure I've seen something saying that there are lots of other settings/config which aren't transferred this way. Can you tell me what these are & how I update them on the new laptop to match what is one the old one please? (b) In doing the installation, I've discovered that I have been using an old version of GnuCash. Is it worth me backing up my current data file on the old version, then installing the new version on the old laptop & updating the data file before transferring it, or if I just put the data in its existing format onto the new computer will it open the old version data in the new version of software OK & allow me to save the data against the new software version? (c) What do I need to do to ensure I get notifications of future updates?
I have checked the help as much as I can before posting this. I've seen a few related posts, but nothing which has specifically addressed all aspects of my query. All help appreciated. Thank you. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
