move books from (new)laptop to reader boox M92

[Juliette2701]

I have a new laptop and when I move books to the reader they don't show in the right label but are 1 on 1 shown in the reader.
I want them to move directly to the wright label, and if there are already books from the same writer I want the books to move there.
I think something in the settings is wrong, because my old laptop does what I want, bu I can't find what it is.
I'm thankfull for any help.
I already have calibre removed and had a new install (64 Bits)

You probably 'lost' your previous device settings, which are stored in the configuration folder. If you still have the Drive from the old laptop, you can copy those driver settings . ( they all have device drivers and device name.py

I would have just copied the whole Folder tree, then set the New Library locations (as needed)

I am not so familiar with that.
I did find PYJ settings ( they are on rapyscript/lib) and PYD settings ( they are on Plugins2) but both are the same on my old and new PC (both W10 the older one from W7 the new one from W8)

I have no idea what you are messing with
The only folder ending in 2 is Calibre2.

If you are running from source, I did not remember a mention of that.
I run the Normal download distribution versions

All settings I mention, are available to ALL USERS

If you want to migrate your settings from one calibre install to another, follow the instructions here: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...ter-to-another

I get error code by exporting:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\exim.py", line 137, in run_action

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

That error does not match calibre's current source code. Update calibre. Not to mention that the error itself makes no sense, since it is a file not found error for an already opened file

I have fixed it.
With a new calibre and get al of my books as if there where new from USB stick I made.
Thanks for all the help you give me.
