I am migrating my Plex Media Server from mg Mac laptop (OSX OS) to my Windows laptop (Windows 10 OS). Is it possible if I completely uninstall my existing Plex server in my MAC laptop and then re-run the installation of the Plex software on the Windows laptop.

Thanks and best regards.

Hi trumpy81,  
thanks for the prompt response. I intend to have a fresh setup of flex on the other laptop (windows OS), and delete all plex libraries, metadata and plex files on my Mac. would this be an option since i have just few media to migrate to the other laptop. similarly, i will be able to properly organize, setup and configure plex server on my devices. as i am having issues with some of it.  
thanks and best regards.

Thanks
