I got a new laptop recently. I forgot to use the Calibre backup function to save the library on my old laptop. Instead, in a hurry, I just saved the library folder to an external hard drive.

Is it possible to use the saved library folder to create a new library on my new laptop. If so, how?

The saved library folder contains the original structure and meta data files (data Base File and JSON File).

Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
