Migrating from one PC to another - what will I lose?

If you're moving between the same OS (I'm assuming Windows to Windows), then backing up and restoring shouldn't be an issue. You just need to ensure the media is in the same path.

For example:

• If your media is stored at:
  
  D:\media\
  
  
• When you set up the new computer, as long as the media is in the same path and you copy the backup over, everything should work just fine.
  

However, if the media paths differ, it won't work. For example:

• If your old media path is:
  
  C:\Users\Maximus\Documents\Media
  
  
• But your new path is:
  
  C:\Users\Max\Documents\Media
  
  

That won't work—it needs to be exactly the same
