Confused Newcomer

Niall40 · 07-22-2017, 01:05 AM

This is my first post, and I have spent about 20minutes getting here. But please understand, I'm 86 years old and the registration confirmation email went into my junk mail box. So, here I am..tired but eager.
My ambition is to create a library, but I have limited storage space within my computer. "Calibre library" currently sits in my "documents" folder which is a sub-directory of my C: drive, which is where the Calibre program sits in the "Programs 86" folder.
Can I set up my "Calibre library" on an external portable hard drive and If so how can I set up the Calibre program to access it there?
