I figured it out, so my games, emulators, cheats, alts to games, are all in that weird file system area. And the root is in Users.
But what I wonder is should I move all the stuff from the old area to the new one?

Did you put the License.xml in the root folder of the new install?
I feel like I did, when I search up in file explorer "Launchbox" there is only one folder and that's the weird one.

Your directory doesn't look right at all. Is this still the really old version you had before, or is this a new install?
So I downloaded the new updated version and then transfered all games and files from the old drive to the new one, and all the games are there and work. But still says free version.

So I just upgraded to the lifetime license and it is telling me to replace the file when I click the registration thing but when I go into that "Launchbox" section it's different and has no license.
But when I manually go through my files/folders the "Launchbox" folder I see has way more things in it and my new pasted license in it. But when I start up the Launchbox it still says "Free Version" in the top right.

No, that is not weird at all. It is not uncommon for software to save settings on exit.
That depends on if you bought a yearly or a lifetime license.
The \Launchbox folder itself is the parent so just copy the whole thing to make it easy. For roms and emulators that would depend on how you set those up and where you chose to save the emulator files and the rom files.
OK thank you.

I have been having issues setting this thing back up, and have stumbled on an idea that it's probably because it's on a super old version of windows 8, and that everything is slow. So maybe we just transfer to an SSD, and then upgrade the OS to 64-bit windows 10.
So my question is:
Which folders would I need to transfer? Is there any parent folder to make this easier? Because it doesn't seem to have that is my current folder hierarchy. I have Launchbox Version 6.0-beta-14
So would It just be easier to start fresh by wiping this drive.
Big post I know.

Quick question, so when transferring the Launchbox/Bigbox combo thingy, can I transfer that with the games that I have and all the settings and what not to a new storage device? And if so what are all the folders I will need? Or do I just eyeball it?

We have a launchbox premium membership from Dec 2015. Is that the same a lifetime today or am I smoking something lmao?

If you are killing it in task manager that is why you are not getting the prompt, Launchbox saves it's settings when you exit, but you are not exiting it, you are just killing it in task manager so that setting isnt saved. You only need to enter a email to download the setup file, and it wont delete your games.
Ohhhh, that is a weird feature no offense. So when I click the "OK" to update to a newer version it will only prompt me with me having to enter the email, and the license will be updated?

I tried that and it didn't close it out fully so then I went through task manager to kill the task, and it still didn't force the update. I would definitely go to the website and attempt the installer but I'm not sure if that will uninstall all the games, etc. And I also do not remeber the account login info for the licensed part of the launchbox, why I'm on this new account for the forums.
Oh it prompted me with this after I restarted again. We are pretty sure that we spent the $50 for the lifetime license, but I guess not.

Ignore @C-Beats, he is wrong
you dont have that option in such a old version. Just do as already instructed, turn on the updates and then close and re-open Launchbox to trigger the update.
Ok I will test this, I unchecked the "update to beta releases" box and I'll close and reopen with task manager.

Can do the following to force an immediate update check regardless of your options:
Go to Hamburger menu (three lines)
Go to Help
Selected "Check for Updates...."This will immediately check for an updated version and download once it finds it.
Did I click on the wrong thing?

I told you, in your Launchbox folder is a Updates folder.
This? Because if so I'm not sure which one to click.

Oh you want to go back to the stable 11.12? Go to your Launchbox/Updates folder and install the 11.12 setup file over the top of your current install.
How do I get to that?

Then you dont need a beta, just update. Version 6 is like 4 years old.
I'm in the tools>options>updates area, and I see no way to update I have the boxes selected but nothing is coming of it.

I'm in version 6.0-beta-14

No, but some things may break, only update to beta if you are willing to test buggy software and report issues you come across in our beta thread.
Oh no my question is, I'm in a beta version right now, can I update out of it?
-
Will the update process matter if I'm in a beta version?
-
I'm not sure how to check which version I have currently.

I have Launchbox

Bought lifetime, but license isn't working.
