My current ProSeries Basic computer died.  I have purchased a new computer and I need to get my 2015-2024 software and clients moved to the new computer.  I have a good backup of all of my BASWIN and Client Data files.  I see how I can go back and install prior year ProSeries Basic software which I assume would build the new BASWIN YY folders/files and new Client Data folders for that year.  After each year's software is installed, is there a way to restore the BASWIN YY folder contents and my Client Data Folder contents from my backups?  I saw notes where a handful of individual files needed to be renamed and restored but not the whole folder.

In addition, it is not clear whether the restored BASWIN YY files/folders needed to exist before the previous year software installation or whether they are restored after the install.

So back to my question.   Since I don't know how all of the Intuit Software/client data/Intuit Link components work, I need to know the easiest way to get all of my previous years Intuit software and files "restored" to my new computer so that I can get work my way back to being ready with my 2024 software as well as being able to get to my previous year software too.

I am sure that this is not real clear but I just want to make sure that I do this right so I only have to do it once.

Your thoughts and/or ideas are appreciated.
