How do I move JMRI from one laptop to another laptop.


 

Hello. I am totally confused on how to do this.
I'm using a Lenovo thinkpad and want to move Jmri to a newer Dell laptop.
I'm using Jmri 5.8 and java 11.
I have read the the files I need to move are in the preferences under file locations.
The "users file location" name is C:/users/usr/JMRI/.
When I open that file, how do I move it to the new laptop that has JMRI loaded on to it.
I am the furthest from be a computer guy and do not want to start all over as it has taken
more than 3 yrs. to set up panel pro with track diagram, block detection, signal etc.
Could someone please help me using the most layman terms to explain how to do this.
My comprehension of computer terms is very small.
?
Thank in advance for any help.?

Mark,

You want to copy the whole JMRI directory and contents and reload that in the new computer to a similar spot. On the old system the login name was usr, I see that from the file path you posted. Say the new system had the login of joe. Then the copy needs to go into that directory c:/users/joe, the end result should be c:/users/joe/JMRI. Same relative path but a different login name.

What you don’t want to see is something like c:/users/usr/JMRI/JMRI, that means you got it one directory too deep.
