stumped · 03-14-2023, 03:23 AM

so i bought a new mini pc, as a backup.
because this one is win11, i used microsoft account for easy setup, not a local account like i have on old pc
thus i don't have an exact mirror of the ...users/xxxxx filepath that calibre is using on old PC

i do have a backup of the calibre config directory, so can I use that, but without the bit that specifies the library path, and thus copy all my plug ins to new PC. I particularly don't want to break the de drm stuff

i could if desperate, redo all that from scratch, but i'd rather not, I have forgottern a lot of how i set it up to begin with

i have managed to add the same adobe ID to new pc i think [ i had lost the password and had to reset it, but its the same email as before so should be ok? ]

I cant remember if having the same adobe ID is actually a rerequisite to preserving the de drm for epub- thats the sort of detail I am not supposed to ask here ?
