Here's where I stand. I've copied the entire Calibre library folder from my laptop to an external hard drive. I assume my next step is to install a new copy of Calibre on the desktop computer on which I want to use the copied library. My question: Since the new installation of Calibre will create it's own library folder, how do I get Calibre to find the old library folder on the external hard drive?

Thanks again for the help.
If you copy BOTH the Library AND the configuration folders (and you put the Library in the same folder path. The installation will find it.

If not, once Calibre is running: Create/Switch: Use Existing: <point the file manager to it >
