new computer

help,
i have a new laptop and wish to transfer my workouts from my old training centre to the new. i have uploaded from the old computer to Garmin connect.
how do i transfer from old computer or download from Connect to my training centre?:confused:

On your old computer open the old training center.
Under File click Backup "username".
Before you click Okay write down the path to the folder where the backups are stored.
If you have more than 1 user then switch to each user and do Backup.

Then find that old folder and copy it to a floppy, thumbdrive, whatever.

Open TC on the new computer and do a Backup and write down the path.

On the new computer open the old backup folder from the old computer and copy the tcd files from there to the backup folder on the new computer.

Open TC on the new computer and click File then Restore... and do each user with the latest date.

thanks Don, unfortunately still not successful

the files from my old computer are TCX files. old computer keeps freezing so dont know if i have full file.

when i try to open backup on new computer, it directs me to web to download access software for tcd files!

so frustrating.

Get this cool gadget from the link above or a better one if you want. Just make sure it will adapt both IDE and SATA drives.
Then take the hard drive out of your old laptop and put it in the new adaptor. You now will have an external portable hard drive that you can access with your new computer without any trouble from the old operating system. After you save all the old docs and data you want to the new computer you can format the portable drive and have a huge external storage drive.

The backup folder might be hidden so you need to enable view hidden folders & files.
The Training Center backup files are tcd only. You do not open them.
The tcx files are your individual rides. You can open those with many different programs.

Once you get your old drive into the adaptor you can search it for tcd files and write down the path to the Backup folder. Then open TC in the new computer and click File > Restore > and Browse to the external drive and follow the path to the Backup folder you wrote down earlier. TC will do the rest.
