PC dead - how to move Zune over to new PC

mjwills · 01-04-2008, 01:29 PM

My PC has just died so I will be picking up my new Vista-based PC today.

Given I already have the Zune software installed on the old (Windows XP-based) PC, is there anything special I need to (or should) do when installing the Zune software on the new PC?

Thanks
Matthew

Not really. When you install zune on your computer and first connect the device, it will say that your zune is linked to another computer. I'm pretty sure you can link back up to your new computer without any data loss though.[/quote

I'd back up all the music you obtained from other sources, but for anything that you got off the Zune Marketplace, you can go to the options and restore all media purchased from there.

However, at least with the old software, there was a 3 restore limit before you had to pay. How much? I have no clue.
