How to Manually Move Notepad++ to a New Computer

After you install NotePad++ on your computer, all the configurations are saved in the C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++ directory.

To export your Notepad++ settings, you can simply copy the %appdata%\notepad++ folder from your old computer to the new one.

If you want to move an exact version of Notepad++ with all its plugins, try copying the %program files (x86)%\notepad++ directory to the new computer.

If you need to move unsaved open tabs or pages to another computer, you can do so by following these steps.

If it's not already installed, install Notepad++ on the new computer. Make sure Notepad++ is not open or running on the new computer. On the old computer, copy the backup folder located at `C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++` to the same or a different location on the new computer. Also, copy the session.xml file. Launch Notepad++ on the new computer and all your unsaved files should open.

Most of the time, this method should successfully transfer all Notepad++ configurations, including files saved in default paths, to another computer. If your Notepad++ files are stored in custom locations, you can迁移它们 by copying and pasting. However, it may fail for some unknown reasons, and Solution 1 won't let you down.
