Hi,

 

We were able to extract the User.zip file from the old laptop.

 

I did copy it to the same path on the new laptop.

 

However, I would have expected a pre-existing user.zip file to overwrite - this did not exist.

Once the file was copied across I opened Power BI but could not see my old data sources as connections.
I tried re-booting and re-opening Power BI but got the same result.

 

I think I will have to manually add the connections again.
