    Switching to new laptop

    I have had to order a new laptop, my old one quit on me. Anything I need to do when I transfer to my new laptop?

    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Grab your config files from your old laptop also (channels, graphs, gauges, charts and layouts) if you can. If not, pull the drive and use an external hard drive reader. I save all of my files on Google Drive. Tune and log files also...

    I backed up my files on an external hard drive. I loaded them on to the new computer. When I tried to change a tune file, it said file is read only. I looked at the properties and all my tune files were read only. Don't have a clue how that happened. Unchecked the read only box and everything is good. I also downloaded drivers from the website.
