- How do I move other preferences, plugins over. I would like to avoid re-installing all of them.
I'm sure this isn't a new question. Can someone point me to some directions??

It is all in dropbox, including the EXE, right? That is essentially same setup as putting it on a USB drive (which I do for one main db; another is set up locally).
In the case of dropbox (or google drive or onedrive) or a USB drive, all you have to do is sync on the new computer (or mount the USB stick), then create a shortcut to the EXE (I don't bother with that on the USB stick, just open in explorer). When you start the EXE, it automatically knows that its libraries live underneath its relative location.
