I am in need of some guidance. I bought a new computer and need to install e-Sword on it. How do I do this. I tried to find it in the User Manual, but did not find it. I would like to avoid reloading all my resources and I do not want to lose my purchases that I have downloaded. Also, I use the Topic Journal and have run into a problem. When I get several entries and go to save, I receive an error message and lose not only that attempted entry, but the entire subject thread. And, bear with me, one more thing: How do I backup my journal entries, my study notes and my topic entries. This is a lot of help needed, so please be gentle. I am old school, active pastor for 60 years, but I am learning. Thanks for any help offered. Tommy Simmons

For your bible and other modules, simply copy them all to a flash drive from the old PC.

For your new PC you will need to download and install e-Sword, once you have done that you can copy the modules from the flash drive to the e-Sword folder on your new PC. 

For your Topic, Note and Journal files you will find them in a folder labeled e-Sword in your computer's documents folder. You can copy them to the flash drive just as you did with the modules.

 

I am not sure about the saving issue with your topic notes.
