<font color="#555555" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br></font>
<font color="#555555" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Anyway there is a way you can 'migrate' all your OpenLP settings/files from one machine to another. This assumes that you are staying with the same version of OpenLP.</font>

<font color="#555555" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">You say PC so I am assuming Windows? Version? These instructions are for Windows 7 but later versions should not be much different.</font>
<font color="#555555" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br></font>
<font color="#555555" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">There are two things you need to save / reuse: 1) Settings and 2) your OpenLP data. You can though get everything onto a new machine and not have to redo anything.</font>

<font color="#555555" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">These instructions will tell you where things are, you should make your own decision, get support on moving/copying things from one location (PC) to another.</font>
Open Windows Explorer, in the address bar type — %APPDATA% — minus the '—' of course and press [Enter]. This should take you to the (hidden) folder where the OpenLP data files are saved. The actual directory path and folder name will depend on your personal Windows installation. It should look something like this...<br><br>C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming <br><br>Where 'Your User Name' is your personal user name on your PC. You should see a folder called 'openlp'. Make a copy of that whole folder (wherever you wish, leave that to you), you will come back to it later.
In the 'openlp' folder there are various sub-folders, songs are saved in an SQLite database file.
Run OpenLP
Choose menu — File | Export | Settings. Save that file somewhere.
At this stage you have your complete OpenLP information, you can save that to CD however you will have a lot of wasted space on the CD as the OpenLP data is not that big.
