Failure to restore from a backup

Question

Installed Sage 50 on my new laptop OS 8. Took a backup from the old PC (OS7) and Restored it on the laptop. 
 When I try to open the file I get a message: A required data file is missing. Check you data directory to be sure the files are there. 
 But it does not say what files. Any ideas?

I did the same thing and it worked OK. Try this. On the PC with OS7 on it bring up the company file and go "Save as" and save it under a file name(whatever you choose). Save it to a USB drive. Then plug the USB drive into you laptop, open sage and ask for the company that is on the USB drive. It should work> Letme know.
