Moving to a new Machine
The usual procedure to move to a new machine is as follows:
1. Install HorseTrak on the new machine and activate.
2. Run a data backup on the old machine’s HorseTrak – this is the built in backup function.
3. Copy the Backup File to a Thumb Drive or attach it to an email so that you can get the backup file to the new machine.
4. Using the Restore function on the new machine, restore the backup data.
5. Test and compare.
Depending on the software on the old machine, you may need to upgrade the version of HorseTrak.
Older versions are not compatible with newer versions of Windows.
