Meaning I would like to move only that Calibre information the I need to.

Is there a way to do that??

thnx,

7.5 is a tiny Library. (my Export archive runs ~15G )
Just 'mount' the drive on your new system from the old on. Run the Library export utility to that drive. Go get a snack/meal while that runs.

FWIW IIRC I used the Windows tool to copy configurations from XP to W7
