To clarify, the LiveID that you used at the time of purchase does
not have to match what you have on your real Money file. You can
create a new empty (File-> New-> NewFile) with the old LiveID on it to
accomplish the job. After the upgrade has been applied, you can
return to your real Money file.

Yes: You can clone the whole old hard drive with the software that
is typically included with a retail hard drive (such as
Seagate/Maxtor MaxBlast). Then let that cloned drive be your new C
drive. Otherwise, no.

Actually, if you have the same LiveID, I think you can use the
normal procedure, even tho you changed passwords on that LiveID.

I'm using Money 2006 which is on a hard drive that's not in good shape,
although not crashed yet. I've already installed a new hard drive and want
to set it up with my present Money 2006. However, to download Money 2006
from Microsoft for the new drive I go through steps that seem to end up with
a downloaded trial version. Changing the trial version, as I understand,
requires a Windows Live ID password that is the same one used when I
purchased Money 2006 some months ago. I'm one of those people who likes to
change passwords now and then so although I have a Live ID password now it
isn't the one used when I purchased 2006 and that means I can't change the
trial download. Is there any way to do a simple copy or move of Money 2006
from the old hard drive to the new one?
