Mal,

Here's what I'd do ...

I'd copy the present bb and Realband directories onto a portable drive. This also gives a full backup of the present programs (I'm a firm believer in backups!).

Once the bb/Realband directories are copied onto the external drive, they can then be copied directly from that to the new computer's hard drive. All that's then required is to run the "bandinabox_realband_2012_full.exe" file that came with the 2012 e-delivery as this will install the necessary font files, etc.

The alternative method is to install 2010 and then all the subsequent updates. Following this, it would be necessary to run the option to remove the +/- files because, as you'd be aware, 2010 used an older audio manipulation engine.

My personal preference is to use the back-up drive approach because USB drives are not too expensive nowadays and it's always a great idea to have a backup of the working programs in their "most up-to-date" entirety.

All the best,
Noel
