Quote - I went and looked at the path you explained.
I found a content file with the 8 content files in an .exe version that were all 1KB each
Then I looked in the installed and found the Poser Pro2014 and the 8 content files in an application format all totalling up to 5.29 GB.
So if God forbid I had to reinstall, do these two files work together and everything I need would be on my computer in this folder? And if I wanted to copy over to my external hard drive, would I copy this whole folder with all the items.
I will admit I love using my computer but not too swift with all the intricate workings as to how it lets me do what I want to do .

The eight small 1K files are placed there to allow the downloader to know what version of file you have. That way it can check to see if your files are up to date or if a newer version is available to download.
The eight larger files are the actual program and content. They are the same files you would have received if you purchased a boxed set (actually the box set would probably be out of date and need to be updated). You can run each of the files whenever you like and it will take you through a setup wizard. The best one to start with would be the program file since that will set your default install location.
You can and probably should backup those files so just in case you need to reinstall you do not have to get them off the web. Which can be slow depending on where you are.
