Move Superior drummer 3 to new computer

[Gerry Peters]

I’d like to Move Superior drummer 3 to new WIN 11 computer. My current computer is WIN 10. I also have superior 2, that has been used on old projects. I assume I need to install both of them. I’ll be moving the library HD to the new computer. What the best way to accomplish this?

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.3.7
Operating system: Windows 11

Both can be pointed at their respective libraries so just install the plugin and point at the sample location. I’m not at home but it’s quite simple and in one of the menus on sd2 and sd3

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

The OP is moving to a new computer so what you mention won’t help. What we need to know is where are the libraries now? External drive or what? If an external drive just connect it to the new computer and install SD2 and SD3 to the new machine. It’s gets a bit more complicated if the libraries are on an internal drive. The OP may have to redownload the libraries to the new machine as I’m not sure of how to do the deed on Windows. On a Mac it’s relatively easy.

The superior library is on an internal SSD drive currently and I’ll make it an internal drive on the new computer. SO it seems all I need to do is point to the library drive, which I’ll name HD B just like the current one

Sounds good. Something to keep in mind is be wary of static discharge which you might not feel but could zap the ssd. And watch drive letter assignments.
