This is my idea:
Burn library folders to dvd, making sure to include metadata.db in each one.

Thanks!

When you burn to DVD, all files get set Read only
This is great for backup, but you might want to use a flash drive for the actual transfer.

Even faster, Shutdown Calibre (it is single use) on your PC, Share (temporarily) the folder that contains your library Folder,
Connect from your laptop to the shared folder, Now have Calibre copy that Library to a Local one.
Un-mount, un-share.
