Insert the written disc to a disc drive or the USB drive into a USB port on the new PC, or for network transfers,
open the network drive window. In most cases, a window listing the contents of your disc or USB drive should
automatically appear.
Repeat a similar process as described for copying the WeatherLink folder from the old PC: select Edit >>
Copy from the disc, USB drive, or network window and then Edit >> Paste in the C: drive window of your
new PC. Right-clicking on the WeatherLink folder will also allow you to select these functions.
Using E-Mail to Move Your Files
If you have a PC that lacks working USB ports (Windows versions earlier than 98 SE), a writable disc, a network
connection, or the new PC lacks a floppy drive, then e-mailing your files may be your next best solution.
Open an email in your email program. Enter your own email address in the To: field.
In the body of the email, attach the WeatherLink folder from your C: drive and click Send.
On your new PC, you may need to configure your e-mail settings before you can read that new e-mail. When
configured properly, you can open the e-mail you sent yourself with the WeatherLink folder in it.
Right-click on that WeatherLink folder as an attachment and select Save As. A window that allows you to
navigate to your C: drive will appear. Select the C: drive and click Save to save your WeatherLink folder on
your new PC’s C: drive.
INSTALL WEATHERLINK
If you are connected to a network or the PC was set up for you by someone else, make sure you have Administrator
privileges on your new PC. If not, you may not be allowed to install WeatherLink or it may only install in such a way
that it is only available when you are logged onto the PC via a password. Place your WeatherLink disc in your new
PC’s CD drive. This will install the shortcuts on your Start Menu and desktop. For USB versions, be sure to have
USB drivers checked when installing as shown below. This is an absolute requirement to use the USB connection.
This task is critical to using the USB version of WeatherLink and connecting your weather station to the new PC.
If you have lost your WeatherLink disc, you may download an upgrade version from our website provided that you
already have version 5.X: http://www.davisnet.com/support/weather/software.asp#vantagePro
