Hi Pezzie,

Right click the Library Icon in the toolbar
Select Switch/Create Library...
Click the blue diskette icon to the right of the New Location box
Navigate to (find) the library folder and select it
Select the Use the previous existing library at the new location radio pushbutton
Click OK

Hope this helps

The manual says in part ...right-click the calibre icon in the toolbar and point it to the newly copied directory.

This is an IT-centric colloquial use of the verb 'to point', with which even those whose first language is English may not be familiar. Someone whose first language is not English, and who is not familiar with IT-speak, will probably find it even harder.
