I recently upgraded my wife's laptop from windows 7 to windows 10. This computer has Legacy 8.0.0.538 installed. I restored a backup from my laptop (Windows 8.1 and Legacy 8.0.0.538). Everything worked fine except in the media area. Some of the media are missing even though they are in the proper file location. That tells me there must be a filename problem. An inspection of the missing file names did not reveal a problem until I went back to the my laptop and I could see a difference in the length of the "-" used in some of the file names. Some were ascii character 45 and some were ascii 150. Changing between 45 and 150 on the windows 8.1 computer did not matter to Legacy. It still found the media. On the windows 10 computer, I changed a missing file name from ascii 45 to ascii 150 and that media file no longer showed as missing. This indicates that Legacy operating under windows 10 interprets the dash and the hyphen differently than Legacy under other windows OS. My questions are: 1. Is the above analysis correct? 2. How is the best way to fix this problem? It appears to me that the only way to correct this is to bite the bullet and change the missing file names one at a time in the windows 8.1 computer so this problem will not appear in subsequent restorations.
