I know I can copy one Calibre folder (and its subfolders) to the other and Windows will offer to either copy/replace or just add new items to the folder structure. So all titles/files would be in the resulting merged FOLDER system. But what will calibre do with all of this new data? Is there a REFRESH option that would consolidate it all or???

I did search on Merge but there were too many hits and I'm trying to get this stuff back sooner rather than later...

What have I forgotten to ask?

Thanks in advance.
Merge is not the term used here

If the second library is acessible ((External Drive). Simple:

Use the pulldown arrow next to the library Icon to switch to that library.
Now
Select all books (Tip ) Click the square just above the row numbers
Now: Right click on one of the selected books. Copy To Library

Sit back, have some coffee and let it do it's thing
