Calibre new computer transfer different to the last time
 

I kept the instructions from the last time I performed moving my Calibre library from one computer to another (that was quite a while ago). That time arose again recently when I had a new desktop computer put in my garage.

If I remember rightly, the last time that I did this procedure, there were quite a few steps to perform. However, after downloading Calibre to my new machine and then opening it, my books were already there in the new Calibre and I did not have to perform any steps. Why would this be? Would it be because I had already copied over my existing documents that included my Calibre library to my new machine before I downloaded the new version of Calibre?

Would I need to move anything else still such as calibre plug-ins?

Thanks in advance

You been a MobileRead member more than long enough to know how to use the forums correctly. Questions about Calibre belong in the Calibre forum, to where I'm now moving it.

Probably yes. If you want to copy over the settings, plugins etc. as well, then copy-paste the configuration folder. Usually its location is User -> AppData -> Roaming - copy the folder named calibre and paste it in the same location on your new PC.
