This would be a migration and an upgrade. For example, https://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Moodle_migration and https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Upgrading, or the other way around. I favour migration first because then you'll have your original installation as a back-up. Note that going from 1.9 to 2 is rough. Many have given up and either transfered course-by-course, https://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Course_backup resp. https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Course_restore, even more drastically, re-entered the courses manually. The latter have the advantage that you will make use of the new features of Moodle 2 - that is the reason why you upgrade, right?

Hi Erik

If your haven't broken the installation, there is nothing to be ashamed of running Moodle 1.9!

I don't think I understood your question. Are you saying that you've successfully uploaded a course backup to a new course, and when you start editing the new course there is not graphical editor just the HTML text area?

P.S.: There'll be an outcry about running an "unsecure version". Ignore it and get your immediate problem solved first!

unless the theme has become "responsive"!

https://docs.moodle.org/en/Site_restore, assuming that you've made the back-up according to https://docs.moodle.org/en/Site_backup.
