Since you do not want to type, you might considering picking up the phone (an email would require typing) to hire someone, make sure you write their contract by hand

... sorry couldn't help it.

I would perform a backup and restore that as advised by Stefano.

thanks, nice answer cactus

LAT are not maintained !!! thats what can be found in the forum.
Unmaintained software should not be on a new server !!!

SME 7.5.1 and SME 8 are different major releases. How does one know, where are incompatibillities ?
..so backup might be a problem ?

It should not be a problem, I have not tested it, but I know that it has been done by others without hassle.
