exporting to new device
(Still) Migrating from Windows 10 desktop to Windows 11 Laptop. I exported my profile from the desktop, and checked the version of Tbird it is running. Then I opened the new laptop and had to update that machine to latest version. I know I should have updated the old desktop Before I did the export, so I'll have to go back and export it again, right? But the desktop, now up to date, is running 140.2 and the new laptop is updated to 142.0 both 64 bit. Will I be able to import the profile from the old to the new if the version numbers aren't the same? Both say I have the latest updates. Thank you. Stacy

If there is a problem, you did not mention it. So, if there was no problem, then you're set. If there was a problem, it may help to explain it first.
Hi David..I just wanted to make sure that the 2 different version numbers will work; and make sure I do or don't have to Export again, after I updated the old machine. Nice to see you again, thanks.
Ok, you're good if not having any problems. Updating from 140 to 142 is a safe move. For safety, I always do backup prior to major update. Not normally needed, but I like to avoid disasters. So, if you're as paranoid as I am, exit thunderbird, make a copy of the appdata\roaming]thunderbird folder to a safe place, and the proceed with the upgrade. Nice to see you. :) david
