By DISK, I assume you mean the USB drive that PG Music ships.

I keep the installation files for all add-ons I purchase, so if I didn't install to a computer but only used external drives like it seems you are doing, I can run each of those add-on installation files to update any new drive. It doesn't take terribly long but I agree it's annoying. If you did not save those installation files and you purchased from PG Music, you can log on to your account (not the forum) and download them again.

Once you've finished updating the 2023 drive, consider connecting both the 2023 and 2022 drives, and backing up the 2023 onto the 2022. Give that some time to run undisturbed, especially if you have the nearly 2 TB audiophile version. Now you have a working up-to-date backup.

Does that help?
