how do i transfer george onto a new laptop?

« **on:** October 21, 2014, 07:23:32 pm »

im thinking of getting a new laptop(another acer aspire with windows 8.1).

my current acer aspire with windows 7 is coming up to 5 years old in december and id rather get a new one before this one breaks.

my internet back up is active.

they are selling acer laptops in asda for £230!which is £200 cheaper than the one i have now bought back in 2009!but i bet they put them up near xmas time!

so how do i go about transfering the george program over to the new one?

cheers in advance guys

Windows 8?

What a load of garbage that is! OK if you're about 13 years old I suppose. Mine drives me nuts.

Q: How do I transfer George to another PC?

A: You have a choice of 3 ways to transfer your data...

Load & Exit George - when it asks if you want to backup to another drive say yes and backup to floppy disk
or USB Flash drive.

OR - Email the file BACKUP.GEO from the C:\George\Backup folder on the old PC and pick up the eMail
on the new one.

OR - If you are a registered user - make sure you have the latest version of George on the old PC, do an internet backup and let us know when you've done it. We can then eMail it to you for collection on the new PC.

Whichever way you choose to do it, install the latest George demo on the new PC together with our Data Restore program (when they are installed run each of them once and then close it to initialise the links in Windows) .

If you are running Windows XP you can then open the file on the floppy disk / Flash drive or the eMail attachment and the Data Restore program will pop up and offer to restore your data

If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7, EITHER save the file in C:\George\Backup (overwrite the existing file), then run the Data Restore program and click the “Latest” button OR save the file on your desktop and drag it onto the data restore program icon.

Make sure George isn’t running when you do it.
