So move the portable version lock-stock-and-barrel.

Portable is self- contained. It is intended to be installed on a portable device that can be plugged into the nearest Windows machine. It can be upgraded in place by installing a later version in the same location.

The software is in the Calibre directory, the preferences, plugins, customisations etc are in the Calibre Settings directory, and the 'books' are in the Calibre Library directory. The three executables (calibre-portable.exe, ebook-edit-portable.exe, and ebook-viewer-portable.exe) impose the portable environment.

I assume you have Calibre Portable installed on an internal drive of your computers? If that's true --- why?
