I am planning on upgrading from Xpress Pro on a PC to MC on a Mac. Will my Xpress Pro project open on MC? Or do I have to create a new project and xfer all the media and bins etc? I have been fortunate that I have gone 10 plus years on Avid without having to switch horses during a project because I always work at a post house, so I have no first hand knowledge about this. This is for my own personal system at home.
Thanks,

They should update just fine. Back them up in case, and if they get corrupt just make new projects with the same names as the old ones and transfer the bins into them at the finder level.

Everything Michael says - back up your files. We just upgraded to MC 2.8 from XPress, and I can verify projects will open just fine, and the media is there.
