New PC here running Win 11 Pro and want to do a clean install of LOGic. Its been over 5 yrs since my last "New PC" install, at that time I just copied the old LOGic folder over and re-installed on top of it. Not the case this time !! I know I can copy my reports, logform layouts, form customizations, etc.. , these are simple.....BUT;

1) If I install LOGic from scratch then create all the same userfields I added, what's the best way to export my log and NOT lose all the userfield data, contest data, etc.. I'm pretty sure its not as easy as copying my log data from the old pc to the new one...is it ?
2) What else would I potentially lose ??

I'm doing this to hopefully resolve some of the issues I've beem having the last 2 yrs, especially printing and hopefully the latest issue of not being able to get an update from LOGics updater. Some other minor glitches I hope to eliminate as well.

PS: The old Win 10 PC is still in use until the new win 11 machine is fully functional.

Thanks,

Brad K8ZM

Brad, I would copy/paste the entire logic directory, this will preserve all your customizations. This will have no effect on the "clean install" that has happened inside the registry. Once done, apply the latest update and you should be good to go.

Hi Doug !!

I've always done that but I have had several issues with LOGic over the years and want to insure I dont have some random glitches buried in the old files. What I would really like to do is:

Export from current LOGic (old PC) my entire log with all custom userfields included
Install LOGic (new PC, like a new user), then create all my existing custom userfields
Selectively bring over some logforms, reports, etc.

Hopefully Dennis will chime in as I will probably need him to send me a direct link for an install, i'll probably call him since I'm getting close to installing ham apps.

Thanks much for the suggestion !!
