Won't hurt to make global search for anything Calibre and compare folders in both computers.

I changed my HDD some few years ago and got all tweaks and settings and columns into new Calibre setup ok (like, .json files are plugins IIRC).
Vista and up do not normally let user settings in Programs...
The configuration folder is IT

After the copy, Don't Panic if you don't immediately see books when you first start:

a user may need to use create/switch to point to the new location of the copied Library.
