Hi I have had a search but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I am running Q Ultimate on my old Windows XP machine and have upgraded to a new Windows 7 one (64 Bit). Will I be able to run and use QU ok? If so do I re download it to the new machine and use my old key, then install my profiles in the new profile folder. I am not great at this sort of thing but need to keep printing for my business. I would be grateful for any help and or advice.

Hi Jules,
All will work fine with W7 64 bit.
Assuming a fresh install of W7, just install your latest version of Ultimate as you normally would.
I don't think there's a any unlock necessary.
To save your profiles and jobs etc, simply copy the old folders (see screen snaps) to the new location in W7.
These are the folders that store everything. And the second snap is the path.
The other consideration would be whether you had XP 64 bit as your previous windows or not.
If it was not, and was 32 bit, and if you are retaining printer setups from before, it would be prudent to look for 64 bit drivers for W7 for your printer. You will have to resave these.
Hope some of this helps.
Fred
