Upgrading from PE Organizer 21.0 to 25.0 on Windows 11

Upgrading from PE Organizer 21.0 to 25.0 on Windows 11: Should the “My Catalog” be referencing the same “Catalog”?

With my upgrade PEO 21 references “My Catalog 1 1”

and PEO 25 references “My Catalog 1 1 1”.

Attached are copies of both versions of “System info…”, My Catalog Properties” ,screen shots of “My Folders” file structure and Windows Version.

Also, the number of “Items” (Files) “Size of disk” are different.

Finally, why does the “System info…” reference Windows 10 when it is running on Windows 11Pro?

Thank you as always!

    This is normal.  When you update the program, it will convert your catalog to the format of the newer version. Your original catalog will be copied and given a numeric suffix.  The original catalog will remain available for use in the older program (and as a possible backup of your catalog which can be converted again).  Your post indicates that the catalog was originally created by an earlier version and converted to EO 21.  That catalog has now been converted to your latest version of the program.

     

    The System Info has had this typo for several versions.  It has been corrected in Elements 2026.  Don’t worry about it.
