SVN - Link projects to repository after moving projects to new machine

Recently I had to upgrade my laptop and the new one had Windows 64-Bit OS on it.After moving over all my projects to the new laptop,I noticed that I couldn't link the projects to the SVN repository.Even though .svn folder existed on the new laptop, I couldn't perform any of Tortoise SVN operations.

This is due to the difference in versions of SVN between my old and new laptops.To re-link the projects I had to upgrade the working copy to the newest version of SVN installed on my machine.

Below are the screenshots.
