Now the desktop is back in service I would like to merge the two libraries into a single library, initially using a memory stick to synchronise two versions of the new library between the laptop & the desktop using GoodSync v 8.6.9
In due course I may move to GoodSync 9+ which will allow synchronisation of two computers directly, via local network or Internet.
Would a solution be to download the ebooks from the smaller library & then re-upload to the larger library?
Will synchronisation using GoodSync work ? If not is there another solution ?

IMHO
The
best way to add 2 'good' libraries, is to allw Calibre to merge them into a selected one:
Always shut Calibre completely down on to computer being
copied FROM.
There should never be two computers accessing the same Library at any one time.
If you can do a Local Network 'share' (your desktop can see files on your laptop).
'Share' your laptop Library folder (if not all ready viewable from the Desktop PC)
Use the arrow alongside the Library Icon to Create/Switch to <your Laptop Library folder>
takes a few moments
Select All (books) use the little box at the top of the row numbers.
Right-click (in the list): Copy to Library <your main Library>
takes a bit of time
If you cant get a 'Share' connection:
Sneaker-Net it.
Copy the Laptop Library folder to a External Drive (USB,Disk...),
then carry it over to the Desktop PC
Follow the copy instructions above. It just takes longer this way
