New Samsung Ativ Notebook wWindows 10

Need to transfer bibliography files to new laptop. I do not have firefox installed on it yet.

First: Can I install my current bibliography on the new laptop under IE and if so how?

Second: If I download Firefox under Windows 10 can I get the current bib on the new laptop, if so do I copy the old firefox data on this old laptop to the new laptop after downloading the Zotero program for Windows 10 and Word 2013?

    1. You can install Zotero Standalone on your laptop and that will work fine for your bibliography, but you'll be pretty limited with respect to importing items (there's only https://www.zotero.org/downloadbookmarklet ), so I'd recommend using another browser -- can be Firefox, can be Chrome -- and install the Zotero extension there for full functionality.

    Ok, then if I download Firefox or Chrome for the program and its extensions into 2013 Word, your kb link for the instructions is all that I will need?

    I have copied my entire Firefox profile on a flash drive. Please tell me how I can copy this profile from drive D (flash drive) to drive C (computer drive) so that I can see the profile I had on the old machine included in with the default profile in Firefox's Profile Manager?

    Let me explain the above again with my apologies. I have copied my entire Firefox profile from the old laptop via a flash drive, so that all of my old Firefox profile is on that flash drive. How do I get my library and/or entire Firefox profile copied on the new laptop so that when I run the Firefox Profile Manager I will see it in there and be able to choose the old profile?

    find the profile directory of the Firefox installation on your new computer -- that's the folder that has a random string, then a dot, then a name ("default" by default), i.e. will be something lik dfjxi234.default

    Replace the contents of that folder with the corresponding content from your old profile and you're all set.

    Thanks! So far what I did was to take and copy the zotero.sqilte (sp?) and the storage files to the new computer. It appears that I have captured my library. Is there anything I am missing?

    no, that's all you need.
