Moving to 64-bit version

LeeU · January 17, 2019

I recently built a new computer and the new system is, of course, 64-bit. I want to move my data from a previous 32-buit system. However, I can't copy over the dir. due to the different systems. How would it be possible to move my data to the new system?

Not sure what you're referring to here. The Zotero data directory can be copied between platforms without any problems.

Thanks. I'll look for it on the old system. Just found out it's in a different dir, according to here: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data

That worked! I just copied over the zotero.sqlite file. Thanks!

Note that that's not correct — you should move the entire data directory.

The only thing different were the files in the 'storage' dir. I copied them over and everything works fine.
