I did the steps to move to a new computer but i stoped. I see HEM is using PostgreSQL 8.4 and mine is 8.2 will i have trouble? I see you can update but it says it could be a nightmare. Thanks

Unless your experiencing issues i would stay with 8.2, there are valid reasons to upgrade such as improved speed, performance and bug fixes.

If you do wish to upgrade follow these instructions

If your doing a clean reinstall or moving HM to a new computer you should consider the following.

I did all of this so you are saying i can use my 8.2 DB with 8.4.

No, if your migrating from 8.2 to 8.4 the above steps show you how to backup everything, you need to uninstall 8.2 and install 8.4. This will leave you with an empty database then import your hands, notes, summaries etc that you backed up into the new database
