Help with Calibre library

Hi all, hopefully someone can help me.
I upgraded my machine yesterday from Windows 7 (I know!) and Calibre was uninstalled although it's retained my library.
Over the years I've amassed many 1000s of ebooks and now I can't seem to get them back into Calibre. I tried to point Calibre to the original file where all the ebooks are stored but it only loaded a small fraction of them and it took a LONG time.
Can anyone help?

Say you have a backup of your (good) Library

Pointing (Create/Switch: Use EXISTING) to the folder
and NOT using ADD is the proper way to use any valid Calibre Library

Takes about 20 seconds to switch (on a basic machine)
