I purchased a new computer and need to restore LR5 from my backup.  Is there a documented process that I can follow?  Since I have LR5, I will need to install all the updates (i.e. 5.3) and then restore my LR catalog

do NOT restore adobe programs including lr5.  they should be properly installed.

Downloads available:

Download and installation help for Adobe links

Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages.  They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3.  If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

I plan on properly installing it again.  I am just looking for the steps on how to restore my backup after I have re-installed LR.  I am sorry for the confusion.
