I just bought standard, after owning lite for quite some time. Will i lose my projects? and and samples within those projects? ive been hesitant to delete live lite, because i need to do that apparently to download standard. i have a LOT of projects using lite, and i dont want to lose them all, or lose the samples within etc. what do i do, and how would i be safe and open them normally in standard, from lite? thank you!

They should load up with no problems.

including samples from outside ableton that are inside the project? ableton says "your User Library - which contains your own personal presets and files - cannot be restored once deleted, unless you have backed it up to another location. If you still want to use files from the User Library do not delete it without backing up first." So do i need to back up each and every project to save my personal samples used in each project? i have over 200 projects

Or does it just mean my samples inside ableton folders? because if the "backup" means a separate folder outside of ableton, then yes i have those for my samples.

thank you!

I initially save using "save as" and "collect all and save." I do check all the boxes in "collect all and save." I have no problems loading my Live sets in other computers.

I don't think installing Live Standard erases Live Lite.
