It will work, the easy method is to use a card reader, use Windows Explorer to copy the original cards contents to the PC (create a folder to copy to first), when in file Explorer go to Tools/ Folder Options select the view tab and make sure "Show hidden files and folders" and that "Hide Extensions for known file types" is NOT selected.
Copy the contents to the PC (the folder mentioned earlier), replace the original card with the new one in the reader and copy the contents of the new folder to the new card, note you only copy the contents of the folder not the folder itself.
Insert to the 510 and it will work - Mike |

Hi mike,
I have just tried what you wrote but it still asks for the activation code but does not accept it?
Best wishes

| Don't use the Home application for this, simply use what is built into Windows Explorer. I have done this a few times to copy installs to larger cards where people at work have asked if possible and never had a problem before. (incl a 510 on two occasions). Mike |
