It says no Calibre name there.
I created a Calibre folder but it still says no folder there

As a suggestion, create a Calibre folder and place the Calibre Library folder inside it. This allows for adding other libraries such as an Intake library which I use to place new books until they have been worked on (metadata, covers, etc.).
The first step is
not to use calibre to connect to the library at a new location. The first step is with calibre closed, to either copy or move the contents of your Documents\Calibre Library folder into the new folder (open the old Calibre Library folder, select all, copy, go to new library, paste). Take a look at the copy of your Calibre Library folder. Does it have a metadata.db file in it along with a bunch of author name folders? If not, calibre will not see it as an existing library.
You can't just create a folder called Calibre Library (or any other name) if you are going to use the "Use the previously existing library", it needs to have the content to say it is a calibre library.
