No models?

Notren

I just downloaded DAZ 3D 4.6 Pro for my new HDD. My old HDD had a rather old version of DAZ, so the 4.6 version is completely new/different to me.
The install went smoothly and there were no issues with that, but when I open the program and try to select a base male model, (Michael), there is nothing there, no content, no models, no bases, no anything.
If I close the programs and go looking for the files through my Computer> Program Files, etc, the files ARE there. I can see all of the files for both the base Michael and Victoria.
How can I access them through the DAZ Studio program? I never had this issue with the older version of DAZ so this is a bit frustrating.

When I open the program and look at the "Actors, Waredrobe, and Props" tab, there is nothing there, nothing to select, nothing to 'double click to load' as the program says.

Can anyone assist me with this?

Did you download and install Genesis Starter Essentials? That file contains all of the free content that comes with DAZ Studio 4.6

You must tell DAZ Studio where your content is installed to, by going to Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager, and entering the location of the library folder as BOTH DAZ Studio Formats and Poser Formats, it should then show up in the Content Librarary pane.

If that's where your old content was installed, that might be part of your problem. D|S for the last couple of versions has created a folder in your My Documents and set things up so everything you install goes there. Also, depending on which OS you have, putting any content in a Program Files folder is a very bad idea — this location is protected in Windows Vista, 7 and 8, which is the main reason for moving the content to My Documents. Most important questions; which OS are you using, and exactly where is your old content folder?
