Hello Daz friends... I just upgraded to a new computer with Windows 10 from my old computer that was running windows 7 Ulitmate ... I was using Daz studio 4.12 on the old machine... all the older hard drives have also been installed on this new machine.. So how do I get Daz working on this new machine ??  Do I go into the old c drive and copy all of it to the new c drive ?  Do I download  Daz Studio again and labouriously download everything from this site that I have purchased over the years ???  Shooting myself if that is the case...  Any help would be greatly appricated

You do need to reinstall Daz Studio. Just copying the files won't be enough. As to your content you can just point Daz at the right spots, assuming you don't use smart content. If you use smart content you need to run a transfer script, there's one around here somewhere.

So I should download a new copy of Daz $.12 from the site... Could I then go to the new copy in cdrive and copy data, people, daz Ect from the old drive ? would that work ?

If you have the old drive installed in the new machine, and it is big enough for future use, then you can just point the new installation of DS to the content on the old drive.

In Daz Studio, click Edit > Preferences.

Click the content tab at the top.

Click Content Directory Manager towards the bottom of the window.

From the content Set lists, click Daz Studio Formats

On the left click Add and point it to your old content directory.
