Hello,
OK, I made a big mistake and didn't test for AVX on my computer before I installed iMatch 2020.  I need to revert back to iMatch 19.8.4 if possible while I wait for a newer computer with AVX.  Is that possible?  Right now, when I try to open iMatch 2020 on my AVX-less computer, it does not load.  Can I safely re-install iMatch 2019.8.4?  I did make a backup withh pack and go immediately before upgrading to 2020.
Thanks for any help,
Impster

This should be no problem.

You can uninstall IMatch 2020 and then install the older version.
Then restore the 2019 version database and the 2019 settings and configuration files via Pack & Go Restore - or your regular backup software, whatever is quicker.

All contents of C:\ProgramData\photools.com\IMatch6 must be replaced from the 2019 backup because many apps have changed and moved, the settings database was upgraded by IMatch 2020 etc.
