FTM programme has disappeared from my laptop
« on: Saturday 08 December 18 04:12 GMT (UK) »
I'm hoping someone can help me.  My FTM programme has disappeared from my windows 10 laptop.  I've carried out intensive searches but it is not to be seen.  I looked in 'add and delete programmes'  Searched for a file, but found nothing related to FTM.  I'm feeling very frustrated as all my notes, etc are on their.  I do have a tree on Ancestry but it's not as comprehensive as my FTM tree.

Can anyone offer suggestions of help, I find it worrying as if FTM can just disappear what else may I lose, and how does it happen?

See suggestions linked to on the other thread. Also, do be aware anything can be lost from computers at any time, and for varying resons, so you should backup important programmes/documents to an external hard drive and/or memory card/stick, and/or regulary print hard copies.

Thank you Pheno, going over to look at the link you provided.

Scotmum, of course you are right. I've been slack recently as had family illnesses to deal with.  Thank you.
