Migrating Metadata from Synology to Windows 10

The zip error you show from the command line. That why we use tar or the Synology ZIP utility. It gets it right with no fuss

I will show you the tar command which 7-zip or other tool can read on windows.
The output will be placed at the top of the Plex share.

sudo -su root
cd "/volume1/Plex/Library/Application Support"
tar cf /volume1/Plex/TransferToWindows.tar   "./Plex Media Server"

Notice this was done as root.
When you take it to Windows, all sense of permissions will be discarded. No permission errors and no zip errors
