I tried to migrate my Early 2016 Pro backup to the new 2023 Pro. The first time it said the back-up was ready, at startup I received an error “TypeError: Invalid Version: null”. I waited for 5 more minutes en restarted the App (7.0 Beta). Afterward it just started, but all devices show like a dashed square, and the reason for it is the correct apps are not yet installed. ![Screenshot_20230311_200800_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/9/195e7183a4681652fb7762e66909d623d1602fd7.jpeg) I just waited a lot longer to give Homey the time to download the apps, but the app screen keeps looking like this. ![Screenshot_20230311_200822_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/3/b3eb599c31d4c4f87dc898eeff1230647a468bca.jpeg) How long does it take to update the apps? And how can I see if it is still downloading and installing? I didn’t just restart the Homey because I think it is not a good idea to reset the Homey during the installing of the apps. Also I have the exact same problem as everybody, only a few advanced flows (5%) are restored, but all of my normal flows (95%) are not restored. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/howto-homey-pro-early-2023-migrating-from-homey-pro-early-2016-2019/77516)._
