If you want to install on a separate hard drive, my suggestion is to copy everything from your existing 2022 install to the hard drive first, obviously maintaining the file structure.

Then install your 2025 over the top of the 2022 version that is now on the new hard drive.

You shouldn't need to 2022 version for validation, but if you use the method above, you will still have the entire 2022 version available.

To maintain the file structure, just select the \bb folder on the 2022 installation, press <Ctrl>C to copy it, or right-click on the \bb folder and select 'Copy', and then paste it ( <Ctrl>V ) at the top level of the new drive.

You may need to change where the RealTracks and RealDrums folders point to (Options > Preferences).
