Leon, I am not sure what you are suggesting here. Joyce has all her pictures in folders in the C Drive, or in their sub folders. This is fine and will work without problem on any machine or o/s. If I was Joyce I would just copy the lot, as they stand, across to the C Drive of the second machine and Legacy will know where they are.
If Joyce does as you suggest then she will have to tell Legacy where they are.
