I'm migrating to a new PC and I'm experiencing issues moving my parts database to the new PC (Windows 10 to Windows 10). I can successfully export from the old PC and import the parts database in the new PC, but the categories are not importing back into the new PC. Any suggestions or tips to migrate the database succefully? Thank you.

So I managed to find where the categories are stored (Tools → Edit parameters => Preferences → Mod → PCB and variable partsCategories). Next problem is when importing a KiCAD PCB, I get the following error.

Hi,
there is a tool in 'Assign models' window to migrate database. First click 'Save database copy' (on the old computer). Next, copy created file to the new computer and there click 'Import database' (also in 'Assign models' window).
