I have just installed a new SSD and reinstalled the Windows 7 OS onto my PC. Prior to this I sent my Calibre Libraries and their content to my external hard drive as back ups. Now I have got my PC going again with the new SSD and I have installed all my programs etc. I installed Calibre and opened it but cannot figure out how to import my libraries from the external drive to the new calibre install on the SSD. I have 5 libraries, each with a different genre of book and would like to keep them separate as they were before. I have done a search here but nothing pertinent to me came up. I would really appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable on Calibre could either give me a heads up or a link to how to do this?.
