Windows 10 support ended October 2025
Legacy .xls and .mdb files that worked for years are breaking on Windows 11 with 64-bit Office. VBA macros crash without PtrSafe declarations. Access databases fail when Jet 4.0 providers are missing. Every day you wait is another day your critical business files are at risk.

What gets converted vs. reported
Every migration produces a detailed per-file report. Safe format work is automated; code remediation requires review.

Your files stay on YOUR computer
LegacyLeaps runs 100% locally. No cloud upload. No data collection. Your files never leave your network — not even for a second.
System requirements
LegacyLeaps is a self-contained Windows desktop app. No internet required — your files never leave your machine.
Operating System
Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11. Both x64 architectures supported.
No .NET Install Needed
LegacyLeaps ships as a self-contained executable. No runtime installation, no dependencies, no admin rights required.
Optional: Access Database Engine 2016
Enables full .mdb to .accdb binary conversion. Without it, LegacyLeaps still scans, generates fix scripts, and creates reports — but cannot perform the binary format conversion itself.
