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?

Plug in the drive: Switch Libraries using Create/switch USE EXISTING
Mostly done. If you have added Plugins and other user settings.
Copy the contents of the configuration folder
on the old machine
and paste it into the config folder on the new machine (CALIBRE NOT RUNNING) do this before the above (you just get to do it again, if you don't)
Really done
If you van lock the assigned path (drive letter in Windows), do that, then it won't matter what port you use in the future
