Transfer Plex Server from Windows 2010 HP laptop to Synology 218+ Server?

This will help you with the physical transfer of the PMS application data from Windows to Synology.

NOTE:
It will want you to setup a server,

  1. Give it a new friendly name which you’ve not used yet (temporarily) to avoid any confusion in Plex/Web. When names are duplicated, it can get confusing.

  2. As you go through the new setup, Your library sections will still exist. Have no fear. There is no need to create them… SKIP over that part. The wizard doesn’t know the data is coming from another system.

Configuring permissions for the shares on the Synology are shown here.
