Hannay,

Personally, I think you'd be better off copying over the old content before you install any version.

Installing over the copied \bb folders and sub-folders is easier than copying the old content over the top of a fresh installation. When copying over an installation, you'll need to be on-hand to give permission to overwrite files. When you install over the old copy that's been loaded onto the computer, there is no need to give permission other than allowing the installation to go ahead right at the start.

So my approach would be...

1) Copy all content from your old computer and put it onto your new computer.
2) Install BIAB 2022 (if that is your latest full version of the program). This will load all needed Windows drivers and files on your computer. I suspect that you can do this through install manager. (You won't need to run a minimum install.)
3) Run BIAB 2022, rebuild Stylepicker and set up your audio and midi drivers. Register the installation online with PG Music. In other words, get BIAB 2022 fully running.
4) PlusPAKs are special installations. They only update the program by adding new content to the previous year's installation. You'll first need to install PlusPAK 2023 before you install PlusPAK 2024. Again, install manager should allow you to do this. (I haven't done that for 2 years of PlusPAKs so I'm not sure.)

If you run into any problems, the blue circular icon at the lower right corner of this webpage will link you to a direct chat with PG Music staff. They will be able to help.

I hope that all this makes sense.
