What software is your old forum?
If it is also SMF, it is a matter of importing the database or simply upgrading it.

If it is another type of forum, have a look at our converters
There are alot of them and a manual can be found in the Docs

Converting to SMF

[Monsterbuck]

This is very hard to do , very confusing ,, ,  I could really use some coaching through this one  if thats not a problem . I just don't want ot ruin or lose what I have spent so much time doing . I am sure you understand .

Monsterbuck you may find it easier to hire someone to do it, try posting in Help Wanted (Not Support) or speak to smfservices.org ... thats if you still need your forum converted

I have marked this as solved for now
