The metadata is located there as well.

I am moving to a new computer on Windows 11.
So basically, I think I need to install calibre on the new computer and then point it to the Microsoft OneDrive folder in which the books and the metadate are located.
Unfortunately, I did not find the corresponding instructions online.

Can someone help?

Thanks
You NEVER should allow the Onedrive app to touch your calibre library or settings. It does a two way sync that can truly screw things up. Move the library or delete the Onedrive app.

That said, get a USB stick to copy the library and your settings to and then you can use that to copy from the USB stick to your new computer. But again, DO NOT LET THE ONEDRIVE APP TOUCH YOUR LIBRARY!
