Upgrading from Iron Portable v50 to Port v51 without old data loss

Post by BobbyW »

G'Day.......I'm completely new to the IRON Browser..I've been using v50 for the past while, but now I see that there is a new version v51.

JFYI I am using the Iron Portable version, installed from the ZIP file, on Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (64-bit) Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)

Now I want to update to the new version, but I don't want to lose any of my customizations, my extensions, or my bookmarks, etc........simply, I want to retain all my previous data from v50 when I update to v51.

Exactly how do I go about doing this?

What folders/files do I need to delete....if any, & what folders/files do I need to retain from the previous installation, v50.

What other special attentions do I need to observe, if any, in order to accomplish migrating from my Iron Portable v50 to my newer Iron Portable v51 without any loss of previous version data.

BTW.....as I always do, I will be making a fall back backup in a safe location just in case I skrew up along the way (which I've done before & it was a nightmare).

Also, please keep in mind I am a complete novice in doing this with the Iron Browser & Software, so be gentle por favor ;)

Thanks heaps.......I'll be patiently waiting for your answer.......

Just replace the "Iron" folder and keep the rest intact
