1 To copy the existing library from my old XP PC , I put a thumb drive in a USB port and "Copied" the library.

Can you confirm that the copy was the top level library folder and that it included the database file -
metadata.db

That doesn't sound right - see attachment for what I think you should have done. And what you should be able to do if you still have the library as it was taken off the old computer available.
