Upgrading RAM Disk from Windows 1803 to 1903
2 posts · Closed
I need to upgrade RAM Disk to go from Windows 1803 to 1903.
If I buy the latest version, can I simply install it over the existing version on Windows 1803 before trying to go to 1903 again? I have one 22GB RAM disk that does not save its state, but is set with 3 created folders and the Windows temporary files folder setup for tmp and temp. Will an installation of the latest version find my existing RAM disk? Can I try the free trial version?
Is the latest version compatible with these settings? So, before I jump in, I was wondering if there are any gotchas.
Thanks
The best way to upgrade to the latest version from 3.4.7 and get a free trial would be as follows:
- Temporarily reassign your temporary folders to a hard disk location, i.e. C:\temp.
- Backup your disk definitions via File - Export Disks.
- Uninstall the currently installed (old) version and reboot. If you have any issues with incomplete uninstallation, see this page.
- Install the latest version downloaded from RAM Disk product page.
- Restore your disk definitions via File - Import Disks.
- Mount them via Disks - Mount All.
- Reassign your temporary folders back to the RAM disk.
By the way, now you can choose to use exFAT instead of NTFS for better performance. See this article for details.
