Automatic Migration Options

Z and I Emulator for Windows allows you to customize the automatic migration process when updating from previous versions of Z and I Emulator for Windows. All profile references are updated to the current path for profiles that are moved during automatic migration. There are three general levels of migration that are available to you:

• Level 1 migrates desktop icons only.
  Note: Start menu icons from previous versions of Z and I Emulator for Windows are removed during the installation of Z and I Emulator for Windows Version 2.0. You can use the Start or Configure Sessions icon to start sessions. For more information on starting or configuring a session, refer to Quick Beginnings.
