I just upgraded my computer (W7 -> W11) and downloaded Tbird. I backed up my old profile (16.4GB) and now I am trying to get Tbird to recognize it. I closed the program and ran the profile utility and I'm trying to follow these directions I found in an earlier post:

you will get a small window titled "Thunderbird - Choose User Profile" [got it] Uncheck "Use the selected profile without asking at startup" [did it] highlight the profile name you want to use. (try the new one first) [not there]

The problem is that it does not show my old profile name at all, even though it is in the same location (/Profiles) as the new ones Tbird created automatically when I entered my login info. Do I use the "Delete" to get rid of the new ones, or "Rename", or something else?

Thanks.
