    Hi Lily,

    I've done this as described moving from a PC to a Mac Studio, and although the files are there for my workspaces, presets, styles, etc., those elements aren't showing up in Capture One.  Any thoughts?

    Surely it would be much simpler to have a function where you can export these settings?

    I'm trying this going from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and there is no Capture one folder under the Local tab.  I have show hidden files turned on.  How is this done in Wndows 11?  Thanks

     

    Edit  I've figured out what was wrong

    Moving Capture One to a new computer i.e. a PC questions-

    My thinking is if I install C1 on the new machine with all of the image files (sessions, cataloges, etc.), appdata and info files pre-copied to the new machine then the C1 install will be the same as an upgrade on the old machine. Not knowing exactly how C1 uses these files on a new vs. update install, my thinking could be wrong.

    1. Should the image files (sessions and catalogs) be moved before installing Capture One on the new machine or afterward? Does it matter?

    2. Does it make sense to copy the "AppData Local" C1 files before installing the C1 Application so as to preserve my presets, styles, workspaces, etc. Or is it better (necessary) to do so after installation?

    3. What about the other Capture One folder in  "AppData Local" the one with the "CaptureOne.exe_StrongName_y3yh4brhpfi14u41fltdrpfruizxirsn" files? I have fifteen years of updates here. should I copy them all to the new machine before installing C1? Or does only the latest one matter?

    Thanks for your help.
