Upgrading from C5 to C8: Should I Start Fresh or Migrate?

Hi everyone, I’ve been using the C5 for a while now, and it’s been running smoothly. But over time, I started running into issues with updates breaking my rules and settings. I tried stopping automatic updates, which helped for a bit, but now things are really falling apart. I’m planning to upgrade to a C8 and I’m wondering if I should just start fresh instead of migrating everything over.

Most of my rules are in the old rule machine, and fixing everything from scratch sounds like a big project. But I think it might be the best approach for the long term instead of patching old issues. I’m curious if anyone else has done this and what their experience was. Is there a way to keep my old rules around for reference while setting up the new system? Should I create a new account or stick with my current one? Any advice would be appreciated!
