Bearing in mind that I have already succeeded in moving my Calibre library from my old computer to my new one. It is only the plug-ins that I now need moving across.
Start Calibre on old computer
Preferences: Miscellaneous: Click 'Open calibre configuration directory
LEAVE THE DIRECTORY OPEN

Quit Calibre using Ctrl-Q (does not leave it in the tray this way) !important

COPY the entire contents (all files and folders) to the same place (the config folder) on the new computer. AGAIN Calibre must be Stopped.

If the Library name or location has change between computers, you may start with a error message: Just use the (Library Icon) Create/Switch to point back to the proper library
