I have had to buy new desktop PC as my old one was destroyed. Fortunately I had my Calibre library backed up elsewhere.I installed Calibre on the new PC thinking it would pick up my old library, but it did not. I saw the "Import/Export" option which I tried but no joy. Calibre doesn't recognise my old library. I have around 2000 books on there which were sourced from many different locations, most of them I have read , but numerous ones have not.
Can anyone help in this?
I am not what anyone would describe as computer literate so please be aware if the experts reply.
