I am upgrading my computer and installing an SSD drive. When installing Sierra Chart - once finished can you tell me what files (or folders) to copy over so ALL of my charts and settings for the charts and Chartbooks, symbols etc will be installed so that when I start Sierra everything will be as it was except of course the data as that can be downloaded again (as I am sure is the best way). I am sure there is an easier way than copying the entire Sierra Chart folder.

Thanks

So to confirm I can either copy only selected folders and files listed or the whole Sierra Chart folder (less the .scid files) and it would accomplish the same thing.

Keep in mind, if you do not copy the entire Sierra Chart folder, then you will need to run an installation of Sierra Chart into the location you want first, then copy the other files into place.

You can copy everything from the original installation folder to the new destination folder except the Intraday data files (SCID extension).
