Locations not showing up on new PC

Searched the forum and help but didn't find an answer. I moved to a new PC. Moved the SSD with my photo's to the new PC and used pack&go to migrate iMatch database and settings.

Everything seems to have worked, except the preset locations I had set up on my old PC. My workflow for geotagging uses those heavily so I was wondering how I can fix this? Is there a specific file that didn't get included in the pack&go that I can copy manually?

Do you use a different user name than on your old PC.
Many IMatch settings are "per-user". See User Name Alias for more information.

I thought I used the same username on both PC's as I use my Microsoft account to log on to both.

But for some reason only someone in Redmond understands the username at the Windows level is different. So I log on to my pc's with long_name@domain.com and on PC1 this account shows up at the Windows level as "long" and on PC2 as "long_name". Fun...

So I changed the User Name Alias to the one I saw at Windows level on my old pc and hey presto, there are my locations.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Yeah, well...
Computers and Microsoft often work in mysterious (and usually surprising, illogical and unexpected) ways... :)
Glad to hear that the Alias user name feature in IMatch fixed that for you.
