I\'m going to buy a new PC to exchange with my current one, and i have a CLIMATE WU that is about 5%. The question is: Can i move it to the new PC without losing the current work and not have to download a new one? Thanks in advance |

You can simply move whole BOINC folder. A better way is to install BOINC is usual and overwrite with your on-going BOINC folder. When backuping to a CD/DVD, beware of read-only attributes. Otherwise should be just fine. |

In addition to Honza's answer, you'll probably have to give the new computer the same name. If you give it a different name it's possible that the WU will be discarded as invalid for the computer when you start BOINC. <a href="http://www.teampicard.net"><img src="http://www.teampicard.net/templates/fisubice/images/phpbb2_logo.jpg"></a><a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/team_display.php?teamid=3">Join us here</a> |

NB: i should have mentioned that an installation of BOINC sw but skipping registration should be the procedure. |

This can be changed, but I would only allow BOINC to see one change at a time. <a href="http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&project=cpdn&userid=13"><img border="0" height="80" src="http://13.cpdn.sig.boinc.dk?188"></a> |
