Changing Computers

This procedure generally allows you to take your information from an old computer to a new computer. This procedure does require some working knowledge of computer terms. Knowing which drive letter of your USB flash drive you are working with is required. This process may take ten to fifteen minutes to complete, depending on the size of your salon. If you don't have time, don't start this procedure. It is a good idea to do this during IBCS's business hours so that a representative is  available to help you, doing this process at 2:00 a.m. is not a good idea.

Steps to be completed:

1) Backup the old computer

2) Restore information to the new computer

Step 1:

Copy all the files to a USB with the following procedure.

    Click Start
    Click Computer (or My Computer)
    Double Click Local C Drive
    Right Click on Salon folder
    Click Send To (Choose the drive letter of your flash drive)
    Right Click on Payroll folder
    Click Send to (Choose the drive letter of your flash drive)

Step 2:

Install the latest Spa/Salon Manager CD on the new computer.

Place the USB flash drive into the new computer.

    Click Start
    Click Computer (or My Computer)
    Double Click Flash Drive Letter
    Right Click on Salon folder
    Click Copy 
    Click Start
    Click Computer (or My Computer)
    Double Click Local C Drive
    Right Click in open space and choose Copy
    When prompted tell computer to Copy and Replace and click checkbox in lower left corner to repeat for all files
    Repeat process for the Payroll folder

If you don't feel comfortable with these commands, please obtain the services of a qualified computer consultant.
