Migrate Library to Windows 7 64bit

tulsa · 05-09-2010, 03:32 PM

Very soon, I will using a 64bit HP computer with Windows 7.
Was wondering if there was anything special I had to do to be sure my favorite program will transition smoothly.

My thinking is really all I will have to do is copy file for file my Calibre Library folder to the new location and run the installer.

Anybody with experience or tips before I make the switch? Does the Calibre windows installer work on 64bit? Just want to cover all my bases before I make the switch.

Works without a hitch, I just did it last week.

Since you are going to be moving everything, why not open a dropbox account? My library file is the dropbox file on my computer - and since I occassional use 3, I wanted to make sure I could see the books on each.

Yeah, I back up a lot of stuff to my dropbox account, including my entire Calibre library. That will definitely come in handy when I do the switch.

thx!
