Hello

Post by kjiwizard »

Hello from me Kelvin Inge. I'm looking for advice regarding a very old version of Family Tree Maker - some 20 years old. When I bought this I had to upload a CD and then start recording. A later computer allowed me to run the disc and I was able to transfer the data from the old to the new.

However my latest computer runs windows 8.1 and after a problem with Sony Picture Message I am reluctant to use this old disc as I have only just retrieved all the other files. I have not attempted to install FTM at all as a result. Currently the data is sitting on a memory stick as my new (now old) computer went kerplunk!

Does anyone know if I were to buy the Windows 8 version whether I can import the my data from the stick without problems please?

Many thanks

Kelvin

hi kelvin, welcome to the forum,

if you info is on a gedcom file then you would need to check if the new software supports them types of files, most family tree software run on a gedcom, do an internet search for ( gedcom software window 8) some free ones try your file out on them before buying software ?

Welcome to the forum, we like to keep this section for simple introductions so I've copied the thread to Software in the General Discussion section where you should get more information.
