Moving library from PC to Mac

silverraven · 06-15-2016, 12:22 PM

I did do a search, but apparently I am not good at that!
We are a PC family, and I have my Calibre library on all of them. Easy peasy, just copy the library over to the new PC. But, my son is talking about moving over to the Mac side for some of them, since they are getting older.
So my question is: Can I just copy my Calibre library and Paste it onto the Mac like I do between PCs? If not, if I have to re-do my whole Calibre library it might just be a deal breaker.

Thanks! That is what I do PC to PC, wasn't sure if it would apply to PC to Mac as well.
Thank you for the quick reply!

One of the major goals of the export/import tool was to make migrating across operating systems robust.
