Trouble migrating / converting from Window-Legacy bot

[DaveF]

Help. I have a very complex bot I created years ago over a period of months. I don’t run it often so this is the first time the phase out has hit me. If I’m honest I didn’t understand that the phasing out of creating windows-legacy projects was going to impact me either as I had nothing new I wanted to create at that time.

I’m now trying to follow the instructions here, but I don’t see the option to convert(see attached). Am I doing something stupid, wrong and/or way too late? I’m using Studio Community, latest version.

Studio - About the Windows - Legacy Compatibility

I’m hoping I don’t have to rebuild it from the ground up again.

@DaveF,

You didn’t mentioned the Studio version you are using but the Convert to Windows feature is available only to Studio version > 2022.10.

Hmmm… Not an option for me.

@DaveF

Studio 2025.0.157-cloud.18912 - 12/12/2024 Community License

Studio 2025.0.157 already does not support Windows-Legacy. If we open legacy project, it will be converted to Windows project with notification.
So can you check your project type in project panel as the following? If it’s Windows, your project is already converted.

@DaveF

In this case you can’t use Legacy version without upgrading to Windows. If you are able to open and interact with code which means it’s already upgraded. No action needed!
