My first installation of v.7 went into the middle of Legacy 6, so I just
deleted the whole folder, and reinstalled it under C:\ so it now sits
alphabetically under the v.6 installation in the Windows folder tree. I
copied over my Picture folder contents and my main database, so it could
transform it into the new v.7 database. I can run them both easily
(keeping separate names for the backup zips of course and different
color schemes for quick ID) but I'm finding no point since I can turn
off the Maps, the Source Writer and married names for women. Without
those, it's v.6 with benefits (eg. editing from the Master Lists) but
without the confusion of too many changes at once.

I would recommend installing in a new Directory (e.g., c:\Legacy7\)
Back up your existing Legacy 6 database and picture files.
Then copy your database and picture files into the correct locations
under:
c:\Legacy7\Data and
C:\Legacy7\Pictures\
This way you can run either Legacy 6 or Legacy 7.
If you wish to keep v6, be very careful. I told v7 to install to a
new directory (Legacy7) and it went ahead and installed it in Legacy
(overwriting v6). Fortunately it turned out OK as I see no need now
to keep v6 available and a plus was that v7 has kept all the custom
settings I had in v6.
