two questions please:

1. how do I get to that config file on a new kobo?
it's trying to force a new account, or login with old, but won't let me, or use one of many others I don't want to use. and all I see when connected to windows are the connection options. also, calibre won't recognize and no surprise there. just info

2. I currently have two kobos that the ports are going bad on so I really need to configure this new one and another one that is landing 1/3/24 asap. is there a way to just copy the config files from one of my kobos that are pre-configured and stop going in circles with koko's registration process?

thanks in advance for all help offered!!
