Transferring projects to new PC

AD08 wrote on 7/20/2023, 12:25 PM

How do I transfer all projects to a new PC and get them to open? I transferred my whole "music" drive to the new PC, after I downloaded and installed ACID music studio software 10, I go to open a project and find the projects that were transferred. But when I try to open it it says "File destination not found". I figured out that if I go to the old computer and save as a "zip file" and then transfer it to the new PC it works and will open. How would I be able to transfer all the projects over to my new PC without individually saving each one as a zip file?

@AD08 If I remember it correctly you need to place the files in exactly the same location as on your old computer.

I did exactly that and still wont load. Only works when save it as a zip file in the old computer than transfer over

@AD08 In which directory are your files stored?

C: users/"user"/music/ACID projects.

When I try to open up the file thru file explorer. ACID music studio launches then crashes

@AD08 And the username is exactly identical?

They are not the same. One is adrian and the other is Adrian Cam. How would I change that?

@AD08 Before creating a new user account I would suggest you simply create the folder with the correct name inside the Users folder and move your files there.

I hope it works. You might need to run ACID as administrator to access the files.

The other idea would be to create a new Windows user account with the correct name.
