Hello,
No, you don't need to recreate anything.
Everythign will work as usual, without ANY problem and without ANY need to backfill.
You don't need to recreate any data files / databases.
A new version is completely transparent when it comes to data -
you install it and it loads your OLD databases without problems and all your watch lists, drawings, groups and
everything are PRESERVED.
What is different, is that new version, once it saves the data, will save it in NEW format
that is only readable with 5.27 and above.
Technically speaking, as you don't want to revert to any previous versions, you don't need to do anything
- it will work out of the box.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
