How do I transfer Elements information to my new computer, (Tags, face recognition, etc.)

Report · Jun 09, 2017

I'll try to keep this short. Ha. Old computer has PSE 10. New computer has PSE 15. Photos on old computer were on C drive. Photos on new computer are on E drive. All photos have been copied to the new computer.

How can I get the information for the photos to the new computer. That is names of people in the photos, titles, tags, face recognition, etc.

I did see an article on doing a backup and restore to a new computer, but the photos are now on E, not C.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Larry,

Yes; you have to use the backup and restore to custom location. That means you choose the drive or the master folder in your new computer.

Move Elements Organizer catalog | Elements 6 or later

You don't have to copy your files before that process: it takes care of copying the photo folder tree and the catalog.
