Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi,

I recently changed my P6 version from Primavera P6 Professional R8.3.2 to Primavera P6 Professional 17.12.1 when migrated to a new laptop. I exported the backup file from 8.3.2 but is unable to restore to 17.12.1.

Is it imposible to restore from 8.3.2 to 17.12.1 or is there any other way it can be done? 

Note: Old laptop was running on Windows 7 and current one is running on Windows 10.

the schemas are different for the different version. install 8.3.2 on the new laptop then restore the database then upgrade to 17.12.1
