Hi Tom, I received the notice that Plex will no longer be supporting Windows 7. I currently run Plex on Windows 7 desktop, which is breaking down. I’d like to run it on my Windows 10 laptop, but if I do, I would have to start fresh on a new server and lose the playlists that took me years to build. Is there any way for me to move Plex from one server to another, but still keep all my playlist data? Is this something you can help me with? If so, I’d really appreciate it. ---

What are the chances I can pay you to remote into my computer and do this for me? I know if I do this myself, I’ll mess something up. ---

I have a shared network drive that’s connected to both computers. Is there any way to move my Plex server from one computer to another? I’m asking because my old computer is having a hard time connecting to the network. ---
