I am setting up a new DAW. I have box copies of Komplete 5, 6, and 7.
 
I have some projects that used B4II, Kontakt 3, and Gutar Rig 3 so I want to get them from my Komplete 5 install disks. Then I think I can go straight to the full Komplete 7 install.
 
Any thoughts or stuff I should keep in mind?
 
Thanks.
 
best regards,
mike

Patience is a virtue - especially when installing Komplete!

I would definitely just install the few things from 5 that you need, and then everything from 7.  I'd especially make a point of skipping the Akoustik and Electrik Pianos in 5 because Elektrik are included in the Kontakt 4 Library, and the Akoustik Pianos are included as Kontakt libraries with Komplete 7.
 

Thanks!

If memory serves, Kontakt went from supplying a 16-bit sample library to a 24-bit one somewhere along the line.  If you want Kontakt 3 to work, you should probably install the sample libraries in a different place for the various versions.  Otherwise, you may be overwriting the 16-bit sounds and render Kontakt 3 non-functional.  This is just speculation.  My Kontakt installs have been wholesale replacement of what was there earlier, so this was of no concern to me.

I have 2 drives.... one is the working drive with OS and all the programs including Sonar and Komplete
 
the second drive is a storage drive 1TB where I have installed all my sample libraries.
 
there is no issue related to speed of access since the samples are loaded to memory anyway.
