What is the best way to move Launchbox to another PC

What is the best way to install Launchbox and move over all of the files and folders from another PC and setup on a new PC for it to look and act the same as the other PC? Do I want to download and install LB on the new PC and copy the entire LB folder and replace the new one created during the installation?

I would install them in the same location as the old PC

Hi @AOR, thanks for the great question. 

LaunchBox is designed to be portable, so as long as you keep all your games, emulators, media etc within the `LaunchBox` directory, you can simply copy the entire LaunchBox folder over to your new machine and it should work just like the old one.

If you have certain folders in different directories (i.e your games), then you can follow the same process, but you'll want to go to `Tools > Manage > Platform`, and then go to the `Folders` tab for each platform. There you can set the directory for your games and media folders.

Let us know how you get on, if your setup isn't covered by the above 2 use cases, let us know and we'll see how we can advise further. 

Cheers,
