Copy the old profile and export your old/home calendar as ics. Then you can add it as a new one which is more flexible. Otherwise you need to mess with internal storage and prefs. My task 9999 will be to make this better but at the current pace probably next life. FRG

Personally I find it easier just to move the complete profile. Then just install SeaMonkey, pick that profile and you are good to go. Just did it a few days ago, my last Window system circa 2011 will not upgrade to (groan) Win11, so I had to build a new system. BTW, this works moving to another OS. Moved profiles to my Linux systems... -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com

Nuke at least content-prefs.sqlite which contains among other things the last download location. Win 11 can still be installed on older stuff with minimal effort but it still is crap anyway. I moved to Server 2019 which has support till 2029 for now. Fun fact is that Server 2025 has basically no install restrictions compared to 11 24H2 and can be installed on anything core i3+ probably but its taskbar and other stuff are the same bad as 11 so I don't bother.

That is, more-or-less, what I was intending to do (if the old profiles still exist on the Laptop) .... get both the New and Old profiles listed under Tools -> Switch Profiles ..... and see if I can combine them from there!! > Just did it a few days ago, my last Window system circa 2011 will not > upgrade to (groan) Win11, so I had to build a new system.

But never found any real function issues. have all my settings, passwords, extensions, etc. Sad to say I had to make one tweak with the move to the new system, installed the Standalone SeaMonkey Mail extension... This profile has endured since the first Communicator, but I have had to change my default browser since too many essential sites no longer work in SeaMonkey. Designer's no longer put in the effort for gracefully falling back for browsers that do not support or have disabled new features. > > Win 11 can still be installed on older stuff with minimal effort but it > still is crap anyway.

I thought MS was finally going to kill off desktop support after 2019? Pffff, servers with desktops! It's command line only baby with my servers, Linux rules! -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com
