My laptop died, so I was unable to backup my Calibre library via the export option before switching to a new computer. I have access to my whole library, because it was stored on an external drive, so the books themselves aren't an issue.

I do have access to my laptop's hard drive so I was hoping I could copy the preferences over from the applicable folder, but I haven't figured out how yet. I searched older threads but the methods suggested don't seem to be working for me.

Any recommendations?
