Thanks! That's very helpful.

It sounds like it's going to duplicate my libraries, though. My libraries are on an external drive (not NAS, just a regular drive). I'm going to continue to use this same drive with the new computer.

I can use the import function as suggested in the article and then delete the duplicate libraries. But re-writing the entire library might risk some data loss or degradation. Plus my offsite backup is going to want to re-write all those library files as new files, which I'd rather avoid.

Is there any way around that?
