<summary>Migrate instances from GDLauncher Legacy</summary>

Due to technical limits and issues, Fabulously Optimized no longer supports GDLauncher Legacy.

Upon installing GDLauncher Carbon, it will automatically replace GDLauncher Legacy on your computer. The tutorial has a step that allows you to directly import your old instances. If you missed that step, follow these instructions:

1. Open GDLauncher Carbon
2. Click `+ Add Instance`
3. Click `Import`
4. Select `GDLauncher legacy`
5. Select your Fabulously Optimised instance
6. Click `Begin import`
7. Once finished, click `Go back` and click the `x` at the top right of the dialog.
8. You should now have your Fabulously Optimised instance migrated to the new GDLauncher Carbon. Repeat for any other instances you may have.
