Hi,
I’ve got a new PC. Is there a way to move all my personal preferences and so on to the new PC?
Thanks,
Marc
I think we really need to know the OS? My Debian 12 instructions probably wouldn’t be much use to a Windows 10 user?
It‘s win10 to win11.
I did not expect this to be relevant…
Well, most users here are Windows. 
This should get you on the right track: KiCad | 7.0 | English | Documentation | KiCad
And: Transfer KiCad preferences between computers and OSs - #2 by albin
Obviously backup everything (KiCad related) before you start . . .

I use KiCad at two Win10 PCs. At one daily, at second occasionally.
I have all KiCad directories organized the same way at both.
Except my working files the only what I copy is the C:\Users\Piotr\AppData\Roaming\kicad directory.
Truly I have there 3 kicad directories:
kicad_mm - it is my working
kicad_default - it is default KiCad installation (I sometimes use to report a bug)
kicad_spice - it is new - I have tried to use KiCad-Spice recently.
According to configuration I want to work I rename one of them to “kicad”.
They differ with library lists and may be some other settings done during work. From time to time I backup them and when I want to work on this second PC I copy this directories from backup.

Thanks to all of you!
As @Piotr 's hint is the most simple, and worked well, I marked it “solution”.

I use on two PCs. I keep my data on cloud and sync locations are same in both PCs.
e.g. D:\OneDrive\hardware
inside that I have directory structure as follows:
kicad\3dmodels - all downloaded 3d model files
kicad\footprints - all downloaded and custom footprint libraries
kicad\symbols - all downloaded and custom symbol libraries
projects - all my hardware projects here
reference - all hardware references
docs - datasheets and other stuff
In kicad configuration all these paths are fixed and they are all synced in machines I use. With this method i can use kicad on any system where my cloud drive is synced. irrespective of system type.
