Family Tree Maker transfer
« on: Tuesday 28 December 21 16:02 GMT (UK) »
Could someone kindly assist me please I have an Old PC that is 5 years old and still useable,
I also have a new one 6 months old which I have my 2019 family tree on
The older one has My family tree version 2011
The question is how do I transfer 2019 data to 2011 please
I have tried  exporting and backing up via a USB and Disc but failing miserably any advice greatly appreciated,  I like the old one as I only have the Family tree on it also its a good back up if this new one goes down

Kind Regards

Hello

The FTM 2019 database format is different from 2011 so you cannot transfer back to 2011 format. The earliest format you can export to is 2014 on mine.

Why not install FTM 2019 on the old computer? It won't cost you anything.
