FYI: I got a new PC with W10 Home. I copied my Calibre Library from the old XP machine and it wasn't recognized. A support guy was able to copy books to the new Calibre but without the metadata. After many many hours over a few days I finally was able to create a System Administrator (read god) account on W10. Then I recopied the Library from the old PC and Calibre opened with everything as it was.

Keep in mind if you have a Local User account even administrator privileges aren't enough and W10 Home will try to stop you. You need W10 Pro pr better to do that. Please don't ask me how to work around it because it's dangerous to the health of your system if you screw something up..
