Diane, No, it will not cause a problem. However during the restore process at some stage you will be asked if it is OK to change your file structure and advised that the process is not reversible. I would recommend making a separate back up of your .fdb (or your .zip) file so that in the unlikely event that you do have a problem you still have the original files.
Do not forget that if you wish to use the same settings eg colour etc. you will need to save these and copy the file across to your new machine, similarly with any User (.usr) files which you may wish to retain.

Got a new computer with windows 7. Downloaded Legacy 7.5 Later on will do a backup to transfer to my new computer. Question: Old computer has Legacy ver 6. Will this be a problem when I do a restore on new computer with ver 7? Thank you for your help.
