Transfer (sync) EXP Settings to New (second) Laptop
I use a computer at home and a laptop for the boat. My settings (settings, states, configurations, marks, Notes, Polars, SailCharts, etc.) are all dialed in on the Win11 desktop. I want to find a way to copy that same setup to my laptop. Apologies if this is more of a Windows file mgmt Q than an EXP one; but I searched the forums and saw some users allude to a restore or replace files. I don't know how to do that.
I see the ProgramData/Archive files but how do I restore from an Archive? Can I force an archive now function to get the latest data to then go transfer to another device? The restore app doesn't seem to have a feature where I can restore from a file (maybe Archive?).
Is it as simple as copying and pasting the whole Program Data file but excluding the two license XML files (or maybe just the one w the device code)?
Many thanks in advance for help.

[Update]
I pasted the EXP PgmData File ex the two license XMLs to the laptop's same folder. Partial success. WX draw styles, States, Alternating Channels, Dampening Settings- all transferred.
But, on the other hand, some settings did not transfer: Units, Navionics Chart settings (did not transfer the Navionics folder), Display Settings, Track Settings, Optimum Routing Settings, Opt Drawing, and Opt Advanced.
Thanks (again) in advance for any help!

Re: Transfer (sync) EXP Settings to New (second) Laptop
They are saved in the registry, but we don't recommend copying it over as it also contains a lot of computer specific settings.
