First, start TB and click Help>moretroubleshootinginformation. Scroll down to Profiles and click 'about:profiles; This will show you where your profile is and its name. Write that down and exit TB. Next, you need an external storage location available. Copy the profile to that location. After you reformat your computer, install Thunderbird. Do NOT start TB. Copy the backed-up profile to anywhere on the drive. Feel free to rename folder if desired. From desktop, press the Windows key and the 'R' key. This opens a command window. In that, enter thunderbird.exe -p That starts the profile manager On that screen, click 'create profile' On next screen, click Next On next screen, enter a name, e.g. PROFILE, or keep the default as shown. Then, after doing that, click the 'choose profile' and select the profile you copied after reformatting. You're done.
