4hotshoez Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 This will be my first upgrade and I have several projects at different phases. I would like to take advantage of X7 now, but I have concerns that I might get caught in a corner with no time to fix anything. Aside from the time to down load X7, how much time and work is it to make the switch? Or can I just download and switch to X7 with a way back to X6 if I find I got in over my head for the amount of time I have? Do I need to re-download all of my libraries? What happens to all of my user libraries? What else might take time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Everything will come over to X7, libraries etc.. X6 will still be installed but the plan files will default to X7. You can always change this. I think most have made the switch with no problem but maybe wait until you hear from others if you want. I thin most of the glitches have been hardware related for older computers. You can always try one plan in X7 and go from there if you don't have any problems.

DRAWZILLA Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I installed X7 and started using it that day, after I familiarized myself with it. I then brought in a plan from X6 and never went back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 As the others have said this was one of the easier upgrades ever, Todd I notice your Graphics card looks marginal it may be stressed by X7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4hotshoez Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I am worried about the slowness. But what about keyboard shortcuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Just try it. You can have X6 & X7 at the same time. If X7 is too slow for your hardware you don't have to use it. I have X7 installed on 3 different machines. The oldest machine had an Intel HD2000 Graphics card that I upgraded for a couple hundred bucks to an NVidea with 2GB Ram. It works fine.

lbuttery Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Todd: Once a plan is upgraded to X7, it can't be worked on in X6 unless you go back to the X6 version backup Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 If X7 is slow, it is slow on your PC or Mac. On my PC it works fine. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4hotshoez Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 What about HOTKEYS: X6 saves as HTML X7 imports as XML How can I import my long hotkey list from X6 to X7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Todd, In X6 File->Export->Export Hotkeys (will be XML) In X7 File->Import->Import Hotkeys (XML) This is no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl_C_Crane Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Todd, X7 is the best migration yet. Like Joe said, X6 will still be operative on your machine. There are many improvements from X6 to X7 that you shouldn't deny yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
