walt.farrell Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 What version of the Affinity applications are you using, and if V2 are you using the MSIX or EXE version of the installer?

You should use the same kind of installer you used on your current PC. So what is that?

walt.farrell Posted January 3, 2024 Posted January 3, 2024 Thanks. You'll probably want the "user" and "Settings" directories.

Though I am mac user only I am curious to understand your recommendation that two different computers should use the same installer types. According to the two FAQ linked in this post it appears to be rather flexible (and may even get switched) as long one type is used for all Affinity apps on one computer: Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
