Switching to 64bit what do I need to keep?

[#Rekd™]

Hi,

 

I am switching to a new Dell 64bit system (windows 7).

 

What files do I need to copy and transfer for Mastercam?

 

Any other hints or tips?

 

Thanks in advance.

Keep your old box close.

are you using X6?

 

Hi Patrick,

 

I was not going to but I could, does this impact on anything?

 

Thanks

X5 is an x32 app and will install in

C:\Program Files (x86)\mcamx5

 

 

X6 x32 will not install in an x64 OS

 

X6x64 will install in

C:\Program Files\mcamx6

 

The only issue I had moving to WIn7x64 is a lack of drivers for an old plotter we have here

i haven't tested this out without the the previous version actually being installed but. I was thinking if you copy your My mcamX5 and Shared MCAMx5 folders into your new PC X6 has a new migration utility that bring everything into you new version easily.

So should I load X5MU1 first then X6 later?

I don't think it will amke any difference which version you load first

If I had a choice I would load the oldest version first.
