in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hello, I have installed a fresh win10 on my sdd, and I'm currently running on it from there. The problem is I have all my Daz files on the HDD, and I want to restore it to the Daz that is running on the SDD. I want my whole stuff like the smart content, my daz3d library content, and everything. Is this possible?

    Then set your directories accordingly in the preferences.

    I have set "My daz 3d library" directory succefully, but the smart content and "My library" ones are not being set.

    Smart Content depends on the database, did you back up the old database (with Daz Studio, Install managers, Central, Carrara closed) and restore it on the new  system?

    Wheer is the My Library folder, and have you added that location under Daz Studio Formats?

    I can still access all the HDD files from the SDD windows I'm running on, so yes, everything is in place. I just want to link my HDD daz files to the SDD daz, the only thing that wokred is the My daz3d library.   How can I restore the database?

    By changing the CMS settings to where the old data resides. Still in the preferences.

    Edit>Preferences, go to the Content tab, click Content Directory Manager. You can then edit the Content Cluster path (assuming you still have the old database - if the current D: drive is your old C: then it will be D:/Users/AppData/Roaming/Daz 3d/cms/ if you hadn't edited it) and add the My Library folder in its current location under Daz Studio Formats and Poser Formats.
