Transferring Money to another PC

[Kathleen Anderson [MVP - FrontPage]]

I want to transfer my Money Small Business 2004 to another PC (with more
memory and a faster processor). The other PC came with Money 2005
pre-installed - I've never run it. To avoid any problems, I was thinking of
uninstalling Money 2005 before I installed Money 2004 - is that a good idea?

Can't hurt. Might help. I don't think it's a requirement.

 

[Art McClinton]

Definitely. Most programs will only remove older versions while
upgrading and do not know anything about downgrading.

Kathleen,

I would think "YES". Not sure if, on install, M04 would warn about
another version already installed. But even if it didn't complain,
you'd later run the risk of accidentally converting your M04 data file
to M05 version. While not unrecoverable, it certainly isn't worth the
hassle. Good Luck!

Regards,
JB

I did uninstall - thanks, and thanks to Dick and Art, too.
