@dceejay Yessir, got it, I narrowly missed danger there (installing node 14)!

I have an issue related to the reinstall I just posted [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/moving-node-red-project-to-new-install-missing-credential/34225) if you have a moment to review and advise. Thank you for your contributions to this commmunity, I'm heartened after lots of learning.
