Solved HD crashed & Komplete disks lost, is upgrade only solution to get full Komplete install back?

Hi. First post here so I hope it's in the right area.

I have an ancient Windows 10 PC with an equally ancient Komplete 9 Install. (I originally got the Komplete Audio 6 interface with Komplete Elements and upgraded with various offers over the years.)

Unfortunately my data HDD (Seagate Barracuda 1TB) recently failed and I had located most of my NI Libraries on this disk and I never bothered to back them up, thinking I could just reinstall if needed. I've installed a new HDD (same but 2TB).

I've used Native Access to restore as much as I can but I can't recover some stuff (e.g. upright piano, the various concert grand pianos, Monark and a few others). No idea why as I followed the same procedure for all the libraries. I think the files were all over the place as I'd gradually upgraded so many times and lost track of where I was putting what.

A further complication is that I think I accidentally threw my Komplete Disks away during a particularly ferocious cleaning/decluttering project earlier this year. (I know, I'm an idiot.) I just meant to throw the box away and remember keeping the disks in their case but I just can't find them so am assuming they are gone.

So, my eventual question is:
Do I now have to upgrade to Komplete 13 to be able to do a full system install and get my lost libraries (plus stuff like Monark) back?

I've checked my PC spec and think it should run K13 but as there's so much stuff in there that I don't need. I'm just a basic, old timey sort of chap and tend just to use acoustic drum samples, a few pianos and electric pianos and a few synths sometimes. I can't imagine needing a more powerful synth than the old Massive (which I love as I find it really intuitive to program new sounds!).

Sorry for the long post. Feel free to ignore as I get the impression most people here are absolutely tooled up with the latest tech, making neo-industrial-normcore (or whatever cool people listen to now) via some kind of hole in the space/time continuum. If you've read any of the above, it should be clear that I'm something of an old fossil!

Thanks.

 

Normally you should be able to install everything with native access, only a few piano libraries are not included anymore. For example monark should work with latest reaktor player, cause Komplete 9 only has an older full reaktor version included. I also once had the problem and just replaced the pianos with others, newer ones in some projects but that's of course not a solution for everyone.

Here maybe this helps with piano libraries

Vielen dank Uwe!

I downloaded the Berlin Concert Grand and that's working great. I'll get the others tomorrow.
I also installed Reaktor 6 player as you advised and Monark is now running.

Thank you for such a quick response - much appreciated.
