I have to say I like the reports you can make with FH, including the all relatives wall chart. It all seems really clear to navigate, with a good focus window display.

Thank you, that's worth knowing!

I have managed to import a Gedcom from Roots Magic, but your way sounds much easier.
Is it straightforward to do?

Thank you Peter, that's very useful advice. Will have a read of the article. I think it might be sensible for me to stick to just one programme in the future, and Family Historian seems the easier one to work with for me.

Technical Help / Roots Magic to Family Historian
« on: Thursday 27 July 23 16:35 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone
I seem to use two programmes from time to time, Roots magic 9 and Family Historian, as I can never make my mind up as to which one I prefer.
I haven't touched either for a while, and have just put a lot of information onto Roots magic, but having looked at Family Historian again, I think it is easier to navigate my way round.
My question is, I seem to have gone completely blank as to how to transfer information from RM to FH, without manually inputting everything.
Please can I have the step by step version. ;)
Many thanks
Gill

Technical Help / Looking for new laptop
« on: Friday 29 April 22 14:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi there
so I have had my Acer Aspire windows 10 laptop for around 7 years now and it is beginning to be a bit slower with loading programmes etc. 
I'd like to get a new one now, but would like some advice please.  I would probably stick with another Acer for familiarity, and would like it to be Windows 11, so my main questions are:  Should I get a Windows 11 pre installed, more expensive, but perhaps easier than downloading it myself?
And also, my current laptop has 1TB of storage, of which I have only used 180 GB of storage, so  should I stick with a 1TB storage or settle for a cheaper version with 256GB storage?
I would just like to add that I mainly use my laptop for Family History software programmes of Roots Magic and Family Historian, of which I am in the ongoing process of scanning and attaching photographs too, and family history documents, and surfing the web, microsoft word etc.
I am certainly not techy minded at all, and am looking for a budget of around £500-£600.
I would appreciate anybody's input here. Thanks in advance.

Thank you David for that advice.
I hadn't thought about the option of a camera.
It seems that I have a lot to think about before making a decision.
Everybody has been very helpful.
