PLEASE HELP! fantom-s software from factory disks

question #1 how can I locate the software from the disks that came with my fantom-s. I can't find my original disks. I've been loading midi files on my fantom-s from a desktop that I loaded the original software on, but now I want to use a laptop, and can't find my disks.

question #2 Also,if I upgrade my software in the keyboard to the latest version will it affect my sequences or user patches? Will I have to do a user backup before upgrading?

I saw 6.1 in FAQ, and it SEEMED to say I could just plug my fantom-s into my laptop and transfer away, but I THOUGHT I remembered that I had to use the software of the disk to trasfer midi files to prevent problems in the keyboard, software,etc.

If I don't need anything to load these files onto my fantom-s, please.... someone who REALLY KNOWS they are talking about (and is patient enough to deal with someone who knows nothing) help me....please.

I know the answer is somewhere in the forum, but I searched every way I could think of before bothering you guys....Thanks in advance for helping me!

1. You can download the latest system update and editor/librarian software here in the "Downloads" tab:

2. Yes, you should back up your data first. You simply need to copy the ROLAND folder from the internal memory (and your card too, if you have it) via USB to your computer.
