Had to reinstall windows 10, how can I restore my library?

Is your username the same between the old install and new?

Hi Pulse,

No it gave a new username, strange as I didn't pick it.

I think I have it working now.  I copied over all my rekordbox files from my old windows user folder, then did a find/replace on the datafile.edb in wordpad to swap out my old username to the new, that loaded my track names, comments etc up but the tracks themselves wouldn't play   For some reason (perhaps related to the username) my folders were locked. I unlocked those and it seems to be working for me now.  I just had to reanalyze them all, and refresh the album art, and so far so good.

Can you see where I might run into trouble with above method?  Any place else where I might need to change something?

Thank you for the response!

That'll be it, you should be good to go!

Sweet! Thanks again.

No problem, let us know if you run into any other hiccups or have other questions.

Hello - i reset windows (didnt do a full reformat) i have the old rekordbox folder how to i reinstall rekordbox without overwriting and keeping my cues/grids etc

Hey Richard,

Provided you have everything in the same location, simply reinstalling Windows should have kept the user data, so all you need to do is install rekordbox again.
