Copying preferences to a new computer

[jerrymich]

I have upgraded my computer and would like to get my old preferences to the new computer. I have looked at various posts and still have a question.

I have followed the steps: 1) windows 2) preferences 3) file 4) export 5) saved to thumb drive 6) copied the preferences.dat to the new computer.

When I do the same on the new computer, when I get to the import option, the list of file locations comes up but 4 of them show in red and say "the path is invalid, try another path" However, I am not allowed to change the path description and therefore the import is not complete

I also do not know why I cannot upload the screen capture to this

Thanks in advance

If the folder with the exact same path doesn't exist on the new computer, SketchUp will not be able to make the link. Can you not edit the location by clicking on the icon just to the right of the text field?
