To cut some very large corners, it is simply ticking a box and recompiling. However it takes time to test that most if not everything is working as expected.
Last transition from PPC to Intel meant that the "press the recompile button" method made PT 7.3 very buggy. I know something about it, I was beta testing versions 7-10
