problem

History

I have always updated to the newest version of MLO.

I have an Android phone/Tablet. Android 11.

I have MLO installed on my older ThinkPad T430. Running Windows 10 Pro.

Both work fine.

I use MLO cloud sync which also works fine. It keeps both things in Sync. Again, both work fine.

Issue

My older T430 Thinkpad running Windows 10 is slowly l dying. Not completely, but close. I can still use MLO on it.

So I bought a new ThinkPad T490s. It has 32gb Ram and huge SSD hard drive. It works fine. I have installed much software unto it and it works fine.

The issue is moving MLO to this new ThinkPad T490s so I can use it here.

My older T430 is running MLO version 4.

When I installed MLO on the new computer, it installed version 5. As I told you I like to use the newest version of MLO. I must have upgraded but not sure.

Problem

I used version 5 of MLO on the new T480s computer but got lost. The interface is so different. I tried to use cloud sync to get my old stuff but only one came. If I try to cloud sync again, the same thing happens.

I have no idea what the next step should be.

Questions

1. Should I stick with version 4 on new T490s computer?

2. Should I use version 5 on new computer and learn interface?

3. Should I try cloud sync again?

4. I don't want to loose what I already have. Lots of work. Does cloud sync erase the stuff on it and and replace it with stuff I synced?  Have I lost what I have done?

5. Is there an easier way to move to a new computer?

6. If I stick with version 5, how do I switch between the several things I have?

7. Should I uninstall everything and start again fresh!

Sorry first I posted it wrong on another computer, so it replied to the whole digest..

Here is the message repeated in this thread and I wish I could just cancel the other one two seconds after I emailed it.

Specifically the most important file of all is the .ml file on the last computer where you had all the correct tasks, even if it is currently sychronized in the cloud. Many lose something because the cloud sync can be confusing how it has to work.

So back up that old .ml file from your old computer before you even open mlo again on that computer! Typically you basically need always keep offline backups of the Documents\MyLifeOrganized folder, everything in it where that .ml file should be if you didn't change the location.
