Hi,
I have the seed + user folder from ver. 1.3 and I would like to reinstall the wallet on a new computer.
How do I do that with 1.4? when do I insert the old seed? do I just overwrite theh user folder?
thank you.

If you have blackbytes and want to keep them then seed words are not enough, you need to copy/backup the user folder to the new computer, then just run the newer version and it should all work fine.

Did you try using a folder backed up on one computer, on another one? I remember reading about users who tried it and it didn't work (even though it was the same operating system on both computers).
Yes it worked for me on Linux, from OpenSuse to Ubuntu, but I can understand if it fails on windows, it can select diffrent paths for the data folder which is difficult to discover.
