    Checked against the app on 24 October 2026

    On the old computer, make one password-protected transfer file. On the new one, install Olive Grove and choose “I have records from another computer”. The licence moves with it, and a summary compares the counts on both computers.

    Olive Grove’s Transfer to another computer window: Records only (fast) or Everything, a password for the file typed twice, and Save the transfer file.

    Where: Settings > Privacy and security > Backups > Transfer to another computer

    1. Step 1: On the old computer, open Settings > Privacy and security > Backups > Transfer to another computer and press Make a transfer file.

    2. Step 2: Choose Records only (fast; the recordings stay behind) or Everything, and a password of at least 8 characters.

    3. Step 3: Save the file to a USB drive or a folder you share with yourself.

    4. Step 4: On the new computer, install Olive Grove and choose I have records from another computer on the first screen (or in the same place in Settings).

    5. Step 5: Choose the file and type the password. Check the summary of counts on both computers.
