Introduction
Note: If you don't have Home Inspector Pro on the new machine yet download it from our website and install it first.
Note: Before you begin this process, make sure the Home Inspector Pro program is closed.
Step 1: On your existing machine, go to the Start Menu > Computer. Double-click Local Disk (C:), then double-click Program File (x86).
Step 2: Find and double-click the Home Inspector Pro folder. If you want your inspections, look in the Client Data folder, templates and contacts are in Data, PDF's are in Client Reports. Any PDF documents that you have inserted into your Template will be in the Documents Vault folder. Also if you have created any custom HDF Documents (usually the section explanation text), you’ll find this in Data/Documents/.
Step 3: In this folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\Home Inspector Pro\ find the files or folders you want. Highlight the files or folders you want, right-click on one and click Copy.
Step 4: Put your Flash Drive into the computer. After a second, you should be given an option to Open or View Files on the Device. Click this option. If not you’ll need to follow the same process as Step 1 except opening the flashdrive’s location to open the flash drive.
Step 5: In the window that opens, right-click and Paste your files onto the device. Once this is complete, remove the device from the desktop and plug it into the new computer.
Step 6: The remainder of the process is essentially the reverse of the previous steps. Once the device is plugged in, you should be prompted to Open or View Files on the Device.
Step 7: Find your files on the flash drive, right-click on the file, click Copy.
Step 8: Go to the Home Inspector Pro folder under Local Disk (C:) > Program Files(x86) > Home Inspector Pro and go to the folder you got the files from.
Step 9: Right-click and click Paste.
Step 10: If prompted to overwrite, click Yes. This will transfer all your desired files from your existing installation to that on the new machine.
