How is this any better than the OP's Option A? In fact, it seems to be significantly worse, because it involves three steps: Run the installer (may have to download it if you don't still have it), copy the library, then copy the plugins and settings. That's a lot of work compared to the 1-step Option A.

Although to be fair, I personally would use a modified Option A. Copy, not cut, everything over. Confirm that it's working right in the new location (you'll have to do this no matter what method you use to move everything over), then delete the original.
