As promised, I am reporting back from Tech Support on trying to organize my hot mess of prior BIAB installs (2010, 2014, 2019...) and associated Styles, RealTracks, RealDrums, ... spread over several drives.
Cut to the chase: they recommend waiting for UltraPAK 2025 in Fall which will have the downlevel stuff, and be done with it.
Copying files/folders likely to end up missing things.
But until the UltraPAK, they said wipe my new hard drive clean. Then install my 2010 (!) "EverythingPAK" from its PG Music hard drive onto the clean drive.
Then install 2014, 2019, 2024 BIAB on top of it.
So there ! Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Best,
Bob

That sounds like a good plan.
For clarification, the years you listed have no particular significance to anyone else reading; they are the years of the versions you bought.
Before you start anything, back up any songs you wrote, and any custom styles you have created. And see my last paragraph before you wipe your drive.
I recommend that you run the Cleanup utility after you install 2019. Then continue with newer versions.
Also for anyone else reading, it is possible, though painstaking and a little difficult, to copy files without ‘missing things’ because I’ve done it several times. However, I don’t recommend doing this to most people since you can more easily install your older versions in order.
If you bought any Bonus Paks, 49-paks, artist styles, etc. along the way and you have the .EXE setup files for them, you will need to install them also. If you didn’t keep the setup files and you bought directly from PG Music, they have the files in your account that you can download.
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.
