Start here: Traveling with IMatch (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#travel.htm)

Let us know if you have questions not answered in that help topic.

Additional tips:

+ Make a backup copy of your database before you start.
+ Try to keep the same folder structure for your image files on the new PC. This makes relocating your files easier.
For example, if your files are on c:\data\images on the old system and you also place them on c:\data\images (or maybe d:\data\images) on the new system, you only need to relocate the c: drive to c: (or c: to d:). Then IMatch will know again where to find your files.
