I believe it's only scene files that have issue. Everything else should still load as legacy items.
This may help.
Razor, thanks for that link. That will help. However, I never did get that far. My old .daz files are still that. They haven't been saved the first time as .duf files. That script is for Daz scenes that have already been converted to Duf Pre-4.6+.
So how do I convert from .Daz the first time? Install 4.5, open old daz scene file, and then what? Does 4.5 give you an option under Save to Save As ...duf file?
One thing I ran into after replacing a dead HDD with a new one & installing even my trusty old DS 4.03 was when I went to open a .daz scene file it got to a point a few seconds in to opening where it said such & such files were missing or could not be found. The DAZ scene & character files were being opened from an external drive where I had backups of those files. That included V4.2, hair files, skin texture, clothes, props, and just about everything else. But when I tried to open that scene(any given .daz scene file say "Relaxing,Bedroom,Night") I got that error message about "files missing or cannot be found. Would you like to locate..."
And I'm thinking "Come on, they're right there already! This is a 27.8 Mb file so there's character, hair, clothes & props data in this file and has been since the day I saved it months ago." So I need to be able to open those .daz files, and then save to .duf somehow before I can use that legacy fixing script.
