Good idea about the configuration directory but I would not know how and if it is undoable when it go’s bad. Could you please explain further.

The configuration directory on Windows 7 is in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\calibre. You can copy the contents of this directory to the euqivalent place on the new machine. If the users and location of the claibre library is the same on both machines, you don't need to do anything more. But, this is how I handle it:
- Install calibre on new machine
- Zip up the config directory on the new machine as a backup
- Copy the libraries to the new machine. I keep the basic structure of my machines the same, so they go to the same place.
- Copy the calibre config directory to the new machine replacing the existing directory.
- Startup calibre. Everything should be identical.
One thing that did occur to me while writing the above, is if the drive letter for the ereader changed. I don't know if this is used by calibre anywhere (other than in writing files) but it is recorded in the "driveinfo.calibre" file calibre puts on the ereader (or at least my Kobo Touch).
