Currently eMclient is running under windows 7. I intend to install an SSD with windows 10. How do I migrate?

1

When the SSD is installed eMClient is still visible on my HDD. It does not run with the old data however. How can I approach these data in Windows 10?

Hello Riien,

Default location of eM Client database is: C:\Users%Current User%\AppData\Roaming\eM Client.
However it can be viewed only with enabled hidden folder view.
You can import old database to new eM Client version.
To import old database go to Menu>File>Import.
Please let me know if you need any help.

Hi Anthony,

looks like I’ve run in trouble after all.
At teh moment, no matter what I try, the new download says eM Client does not have admission to F:, the former hard drive. I intend to reformat the hard drive, but I am not sure that will solve my problems… Even new downloads seem to be prone to this error. I would prefer a clean install of eM client, is that possible?

Hi Anthony,

I managed to open a new eM Client program. However, trying to restore the backup failed:

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Kan een gedeelte van het pad C:\Users\Gebruiker\Documents\eM Client niet vinden.   bij System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
   bij System.IO.FileSystemEnumerableIterator1.CommonInit()    bij System.IO.FileSystemEnumerableIterator1…ctor(String path, String originalUserPath, String searchPattern, SearchOption searchOption, SearchResultHandler`1 resultHandler, Boolean checkHost)
   bij System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(String path, String searchPattern)

bij System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker.OnDoWork(DoWorkEventArgs e)

It seems the system erroneouslytries to install the backup at C:\Users\Gebruiker\Documents\eM Client.
That should be C:\Users\Gebruiker\appdata\roaming\eM Client.
can you help?
Thanks,

Rien</mainform_load>

Thank you for all the information Rien,

Regarding permissions to access “F:”, Clean install can be performed by removing/moving the database from default location.
The IO error can be related to the missing folder, changing the default database location back to the former directory could help(Menu>Tools>Settings>General>Storage).
