Just as it says. Do I have to start completely over? Is there some directory I can copy? Or? I have quite a bit set up, and some of it I don't even recall how I did it.

On the old computer, open FG and click the folder icon in the top left. Copy everything from that folder to a USB drive or similar. On your new computer, after installing FG, do the reverse - click the folder icon and copy the contents of your old computer on your USB drive to the FG directory. Or, you can temporarily store the old data in a cloud storage solution (DropBox, Drive, Box, etc.). But don't have your FG installation data directory pointing at a cloud storage/sync solution when using it - just use the cloud as temporary storage to facilitate copying the data from your old computer to the new computer.

That worked perfectly! I used the USB option. Thank you!
