Chad and Alfred - I'll PM you both with a link to Google Drive from where you can download "MVPX5.zip".  The file will be there for 10 days.  It's 1,458,633 KB.

Chad - download to your pc and unzip the file.  The resulting folder has two subfolders.  "Disc Contents" and "MVPX62018 Patch".  Ignore my folder typo as it actually contains the last MVPX5 (not X6) patch - MVPX51033_MoviePlusX5_7.0.2.018-Patch-Setup.exe. 

Open the Disc Contents folder and scroll down to "setup.exe".  Double clicking on that should result in MVPX6 being installed.  If not then hopefully Alfred can help out with advice on what you need to do.

After installing apply the patch and import your codec unlock codes by going in MVPX6 to where you exported them but this time click the Import button.

Thank you!  Will you be sending the PM through this forum somehow or directly to my email?

Thank you ericlnz!!!  This worked as you instructed and I'm very grateful to you for this.  I had CD's for Page/Web Plus and others from Serif, but I just can't figure out were my CD for MP is.

To quote from the top of the forum page:

"Private messages: There is no pop-up alert for new PMs on these forums, so you need to look out for the PM link (near the top right-hand corner of the page) becoming bold."

Chad - I've just realised MVPX5 uses codec unlocking so urgently export your unlock codes from your old laptop while you can then store the small file somewhere safe.  You will need it to import the codes to a new installation.  Without the codes, which are linked to your license key, any new installation is useless.  Serif shut down the unlock codes server a while back.

Go to Tools/Options/Advanced and click on "Manage Unlock Codes".  There click on Export.  I'm looking at X6 but I'm pretty sure X5 was the same.

Sorry everyone, I have been traveling and I was not notified of all your comments to my post I must have missed selecting the subscribe button, so thank you for all your help.

Ericlnz, I followed your instructions to export.  Will I be able to continue using MP on my laptop and install on my new PC?  How do I install on the new PC?

Alfred - it was DP I shared?  Anyway I've found my MVPX5 disc and have uploaded the contents of it plus the last X5 patch as a zip file to Google Drive.  When Chad returns I'll PM him with the link.  Would you also like it?

Ah, my mistake!  I suppose it might be useful for me to have a copy of the link, although larger downloads from my hosting server seem to be a bit temperamental at the moment.

I greatly appreciate anyone helping me with this.
