There are many ways to get this done over the years that work BUT you can't pick some save steps from one and use others to restore. They will fail.
Simplest: Make a folder (the name will be your new Library name in the end) eg MainLib
DO NOT start Calibre
on your OLD PC copy EVERYTHING INSIDE the old Library folder over to the INSIDE of the new folder. If you have NOT added books to the New, Default Calibre Library, simply replace the contents in total. This is your books BUT NOT plugins or settings.

I did it all through Calibre
Export Import
You say copy everything inside the old library folder....do you mean the actual calibre folder I always save a copy of?
Or the calibre files that were created when I exported in calibre on my old pc?
I really also need plug ins and settings if at all possible
