Need to Copy My Zotero Bibliogaphy Files from laptop w/Windows 7 to a Windows 10 laptop

Percetta

I have a Windows 7 laptop that I need to copy specific files relating to my Zotero bibliography from, to a laptop that is a Windows 10. I need the user files only, since I have the program already on the Firefox browser and on Word 2013. Since I am only interested in getting my bibliography files from the Windows 7 laptop to the Windows 10. Can you tell me which specific files that I would need to copy?

Did I provide enough info?

Tell me Dan, if I have Zotero already installed on the Windows 10 laptop, can I install the portable application over it?

And, how does the portable pick up that you have a library already?

By "portable" do you mean Zotero Standalone or a portable edition of Firefox? If you mean the former, the second version of Zotero you install on a system will prompt you to use the existing data directory. You can always change later in the preferences.

Zotero in my browser ended up in reverse alphabetical order, while this is not a bother, I was wondering is there any way to reverse it where "A" shows up at the top of the window and Z entries wind up at the bottom?

You can click the top of any column to reverse the sort order.

Is the Standalone version portable?

I copied the folder into my USB, and it worked properly.
If I use Zotero this way, isn't there any problem?

I want to copy whatever files necessary from one laptop to another both with Windows 10 to get my library off of the laptop that has it; however, one is a built-in Windows 10 system, the other system I had to install it as a Windows 10 system, if it makes any difference. The browser is Firefox. Can you send me the link with the instructions or give me the shortcut. Thanks.
