transfer MT5 from one computer to another

 

Hello,

I installed MT5 on a new computer. 

I want to transfer all about MT5 installation (EA, custom indicators, charts etc....) from an old computer. What do I have to do?

Thanks in advance for  support !

What is the system of your old computer ? You have to find your files and copy them to your new computer. I suggest you to install your new MT5 in something like C:\MT5 (and not in C:\Program files...)

The old system is Win 7 32 bit, the new one is Win 7 64 bit.
