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.
Imo, the easiest way to move your wallet to a new pc is by first installing 1.4 on the old pc and completing a "full backup." Be sure to close 1.4 on the old pc at this point. Then, install 1.4 on the new pc and "restore from full backup." I'm using WIN and this method worked like a charm for me.
Don't open 1.4 on the old pc after the full backup though, as Tony says this can cause issues with bbyte distribution as well as lost chat messages.
Please refer to Tony's post from last week, if necessary.
