Will FM13 read old .fp7 files?

[StanleyPatz]

I have to dump a WinXP computer for a new Win8.1 machine. If I buy FM13, will I be able to read my old .fp7 files? Will I still see my old report formats? Or is there a conversion routine to be run first?

Your v7 can not be run as v7 files in v13. You can convert them to v13 and then the converted files will work in 13. 

 

Here is a Tech article that should help you. Convert older files
