Transfer Ableton factory packs to new computer

Post by kosherkraut » Mon Apr 12, 2021 5:44 pm

Hi,

I'm building a new computer, and I am planning to transfer all my Ableton stuff to it as hassle free as possible. So far, I know that I have to:


- Transfer the projects folder or more safely, do a "Collect and Save" for all projects/songs to move over tracks and samples
- (Unfortunately) install all VSTs again on the new computer in the same locations as the old one.

However, I have some songs that use Factory Packs (the ones that are installed by default at C:\Users\user\Documents\Ableton\Factory Packs).

What is the best way to transfer those over? Can I just copy and past the packs to the new computer in the same location? Or do I need to reinstall them again?

More details:


Both computers are on the latest Windows 10 versions.

Ableton version is 10 Standard for both.

Thanks.

Live's Packs and User Library can just be copied.
