Shutdown the old desktop / ZPOD

  1. Check whether the old desktop / ZPOD is currently running:
    1. Put your mouse over the Zinstall tray icon [?] - this will cause a tool-tip text to appear.
    2. If the text says: "Zinstall new desktop ( Running )" - that means the old desktop is currently running
    3. If the text says: "Zinstall new desktop ( Off )" - that means the old desktop is NOT running and there's no need to do anything further to shut it down.
  2. If the old desktop is running:
    1. Switch to old desktop / ZPOD
    2. Right click on Zinstall tray icon [?] on the old desktop / ZPOD
    3. Click on "Shutdown old desktop" / "Shutdown ZPOD"
    4. Wait for the old desktop to shut down
  3. You will now be switched back to the new desktop / host computer, with the Zinstall old desktop / ZPOD properly turned off.
