Hi, I'm going to upgrade my Lightroom from 2.7 to 5.0. The 5.0 version is on my new computer; how to go along ? Tips/advise/do's and don'ts : please keep it simple; I'm just above 'stupid' digital wise
thanks

Make a backup of your catalog. Install the new version. It should find things and work fine.
