You can migrate the configuration settings of RAD Studio and import them directly into a newer RAD Studio version.

When you migrate the settings to a newer RAD Studio version, the migration tool exports the settings from the selected RAD Studio version and imports them to a selected newer RAD Studio version automatically.

  • Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\bin
  • Windows Start Menu: Start | All Programs | Embarcadero RAD Studio Berlin | Migration Tool
Note: Close RAD Studio before exporting and importing configuration settings.

When you execute migrationtool.exe you see a wizard that guides you through the process:
