I’ve just completed transferring several thousand files from an old (Windows 10) to a new (Windows 11) laptop using USB sticks.
The LB2 files on the old laptop gave a preview in their folder location.
After they were transferred to the new laptop, there is no longer a preview shown, and many of them transferred as LB1 files.(?)
This makes an individual file difficult to locate based on the text description alone.
How do you transfer files and maintain their original LB2 format, which gives a file preview in the storage folder?
(I will delete all the transferred files and transfer again if needed)
Thank you
Have you run LightBurn on the new machine? Are the files stored in a OneDrive folder, or some other cloud sync service? (If so, that’s likely why the previews don’t work)

Well, I was of the impression I was transferring them to a desktop “Lightburn Files” folder.
But, it looks as though that folder was sent to Onedrive, and appears as a folder on my desktop.
Do I need to figure out how to store these …ON… my laptop?
I have 1TB of internal storage, and can add several TB of SSD external if needed.
I did do a fresh download of LB for the new laptop, and have yet to try it.
To me Onedrive is quite aggressive and hard to tame.

Agreed.
It seems as though they’ve put far more effort into the data acquisition capabilities of W11 than the simple “click and go” functionality. And I’m thus far equally disenchanted with OneDrive.
It’s proving to be a PITA…
It took 4 hours and several troubleshooting widget downloads to get 365 functional.
These are office products that have worked well for several decades, and were previously just included in a product purchase.
I’m not really concerned about the “subscription” aspect of acquiring access to office products.
However, I believe a payment method and a radio button for install (that simply WORKS on it’s own) isn’t an unreasonable ask.
I can buy 2TB external for $100, so I’ve already lost $ by virtue of time required…
You should be able to tell OneDrive NOT to sync that folder by right-clicking, but honestly I don’t use it so I’m going to be little help here.
You should also be able to just make your own folder and transfer the files there instead.
