Locked Migrating to a New PC #install


Ed Bloom, KD9FRQ
 

Latest WinLink Express update does not work on Windows Vista.

So, I am upgrading to a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit PC. The Vista machine

has server me well for many years and was the perfect price of $0.00

when I got it in 2015.

What is the data back up and restore procedure for WSJT-X so I can

move all the History of Contact to the new PC and not end up with

a bunch of "You Need This Call" indications?

73s, Ed, KD9FRQ

Hi Ed,

two files need to be transferred:

WSJT-X.ini
wsjtx_log.adi

Others you might want to transfer are:

ALL.TXT
wsjtx.log
ALL_WSPR.TXT
db.sqlite
refspec.dat
WSPR_history.txt

All of those files can be found in the WSJT-X log files directory "%LocalAppData%\WSJT-X" ("Menu->File->Open log directory").
