The New Computer Begets

My current laptop is getting long in the electrons, so I purchased a new one. As we’re preparing to migrate items to the new laptop, a few things have come up. Since a single purchase often snowballs into multiple outlays of cash (as in the Homeowner Begets), here we have the New Computer Begets.
My current version of Microsoft Office is no longer being supported. Since this company is going to the subscription model, I need to shell out $ for updates.
The new operating system is incompatible with my older version of FileMaker Pro. Not only will I have to buy a new version (cha-ching!), but I’ll need to convert my current files to the newer format. FileMaker warns that the conversion may result in “errors”. With nearly 3000 recipe records and over 500 cookbooks (see this post), correcting said errors could be a full-time job. (Oh boy, another one!)
