Thanks for the suggested steps. This worked quite well with one minor adjustment. On step 4 be careful to not copy over your Extension Downloader Prefs as that caused some problems for me. Luckily I made a backup of the 7.4 new prefs before replacing them with my 7.3.4 backup so it was easy to correct once I figured out what was happening. It seem like almost all my settings stuck. I lost the Presets on my Boom, but I think that is a different issue.
