Unlikely to be a new question...

I apologise for asking what is probably an often answered question, I have looked about and I find a lot of old answers, which will no longer be useful with version changes.

I would like to DeDRM my Kindle books. I have installed the plugin, I have downloaded the PC Kindle app, I have signed into it. Works.

Configuring the DeDRM plugin though...

I get to the screen to add the key and Calibre is not presenting me anything. The green plus tells me "The default encryption key for Kindle on Mac/PC could not be found". The "Import Existing Keyfiles" brings up a file dialog, but I have no idea what a key file looks like, or where it might be found.

Running Calibre 7.26 (no objection to updating to 8.3.0, just haven't gotten round to it - the notes didn't suggest it would significantly help me).
DeDRM is 7.2.1
Kindle App is 2.7.1

Any pointers would be gratefully received.
