Can anyone help with tranfering e-Sword notes and translations, commentaries, etc to a new computer? I copied the files to the new computer and run the e-sword setup but it is still not loading any of the translations or other info I have collected since I have been using e-Sword.

(1) install e-Sword on the new computer.
(2) find the newly created Program Files(x86)/e-Sword folder.
(3) copy all of the old e-Sword files to this folder
(4) re-start e-word.

This will only work if you were using e-Sword 9 or 10 on the old PC. If you were using e-Sword 8 or earlier, you will need to either re-download the resources in the newer format or convert them all using one of the free e-Sword converters.

Thanks Bradley. I was trying to load the files before I downloaded e-Sword.

This is an important detail (should be provided in opening post), what version are you upgrading from, 7x, 8x, 9x, or simply installing 10x on a second computer?

Page 55 from e-Sword 10x guide 1006 - assuming you're using compatible resources:

Raw e-Sword Resources

Copy the following resource types to your “c:\program files\e-sword” folder

Bible (.bblx), Commentary (.cmtx), Dictionary (.dctx), Topics File (.topx),
Reference Library (.refx), Harmonies (.harx), Devotionals (.devx)

*64-bit versions of Windows use a slightly different e-Sword program files folder:
“c:\program files (x86)\e-sword”.

Copy the following resource types to your “my documents\e-sword” folder.

Bible Reading Plan (.brpx), Memory Verse List (.memx), Verse List (.lstx)

I just installed ver 10x on new laptop; have been using ver. 7x on old laptop. Now, I'd like to be able to use the NASB translation I purchased awhile ago; do I understand that I need to re-purchase it or can it be converted?

do I understand that I need to re-purchase it or can it be converted?

You should be able to download the updated version.  You'll need your purchase data to do so.
