There is a folder called Calibre Settings there, and I copied the files from that location to my new Calibre Settings folder (which I zipped up first in case I needed to restore them). It seems to have found my news-fetching information and at least some of my plugins (haven't inventoried yet), but not my various layout configurations. I was hoping that there was either something in the Settings folder or some other file that would bring over those settings too. Maybe my best bet is to start by copying over my Calibre 5 portable folder, then upgrading in place.
