Just upgraded my win 8.1 to win 10. What is the best way to re-install my Finale v25? I don't have a disc since I loaded the program from the Make Music online.
Thanks for any help.

You should be able to download it from the MakeMusic website again. I suggest you save it this time.

Login to your account and you will find V25 listed in the My Account page along with a Download button, everywhere else takes you to V26 from what I experienced. It is the full download including the Garritan sounds.

Thanks to everyone for all your help. I went to the Finale website and spent a lot of time getting it to re-install. Whew!
Motet's suggestion of saving the file was a great idea. I have an external drive that I could save it to. Can I merely save just the .exe file or do I need to save other files that are connected to the program?
Thanks again.

Save the file you downloaded from the website. There should be only one.
