Hi again!

With BIAB, it writes very little to Windows registry so copying works.

One of the 'tricks' with moving to a new system is to copy the whole \bb folder and all subfolders while maintaining the same folder structure. Once the copying is done, it's then only necessary to run the BIAB/RB program files to install fonts, etc., and to activate the software seeing that it's a new system.

So....

In your situation, if you keep the \bb folder with all it's files and sub-folders so that you reproduce the folder structure of the original installation, then all will be well. (Realtracks and Realdrums folders to not have to be part of the \bb folder structure. If these folders reside outside of BIAB, the path for the location needs to be entered into "Preferences".)

You won't need to run the program file since your system already has BIAB on it. Likewise, you won't need to re-activate because activation is computer-based and you already have BIAB installed.

In relation to Realband... All the folders of Realband are needed. It uses styles, Realtracks, Realdrums, etc., from BIAB. This means there is nothing that can be eliminated from the \Realband folder.

As mentioned in my previous post, RTs and RDs are around 110-120 GB. If you right-click on your \bb folder and choose "Properties", Windows will calculate the size of your \bb folder with all RTs/RDs. Simply substract 110-120 GB from this value and you'll get the size of your proposed installation.
