Can't load library after Reinstalling
I installed Calibre on a new computer and copied the Calibre Library from an old computer. However, the library will not open on the new computer. I have duplicated the library and have it in different locations on my hard drive but neither are recognized.

I am using Windows 10 on an HP laptop and the latest version of Calibre.

Did you click on the Library icon and then switch/create library? Click the radio button by Use the previously existing library at a new location and then browse to location where you copied your old library and then click OK.
