Transfer FTM 2019 to a New Computer

When you need to Transfer FTM 2019 to A New Computer, the process is fairly straightforward but requires some careful steps to ensure that all your genealogical data and settings move smoothly. First, make sure that you have the latest version of FTM 2019 installed on your current computer, as transferring outdated software might cause compatibility issues. Begin by backing up your family tree files, which include both your primary data files and any associated media like photos or documents. You can do this by using the software’s backup feature, which creates a .ftmb file, allowing you to easily restore your entire tree on a new machine. Additionally, export your tree in GEDCOM format as a precautionary measure.
