New computer, have I got this right? - Please Help

DerbyBoy · 02-08-2010, 09:09 AM

I am just about to get a new laptop. This runs Windows 7 64 bit. My 505 is currently only authorised on my current P.C. and I want to eventualy get rid of this (the P.C. not the 505).

Is it just a matter of installing the 505 on my new laptop, downloading ADE and as long as I remember my login details I can carry on as before? Please bear in mind that I am in the U.K.

Also, do I have to bother with the Sony Library? I currently use Calibre to sort what is on my reader.

If it's more complicated than this could someone please point me to a previous post which gives an idiots guide. I can assure you that I need it.

Thanks in advance to all you helpful posters out there

You won't have to use the Sony software if you don't want to so as far as I'm aware you'll just need to download calibre and ade (for buying ebooks or library borrowing) on your new machine.

In theory it should be reasonably straightforward. I'm not sure whether you'll need to deauthorise your Sony in your old pc's ade account so maybe someone else can advise with this.
