Copy Opera on new system

last edited by

I know this has been discussed before, or maybe I'm just dumb and can't find it, but How can I copy all of my Opera settings from my current computer to my new one??? I mean an exact copy, speed dials, history, everything!!

Backup your profile folder and paste it into the new computer.

Where exactly is the "profile" folder?? I tried coping the files in my (Program Files/Opera) file, but that didn't work.

Choose Menu / Help / About Opera.

Under the section "Path" you will find the information where your profile folder is expected by Opera.

If you had spent some time reading the forums, you probably would find you answer at https://forums.opera.com/post/137016

Programs Files/Opera is the installation directory, no user data is stored there in a typical installation. It's valid for (almost) all programs installed on Windows.
User data is usually stored at %appdata% directory.

@leocg if this is a portable version, the path will be different

That's why I said 'usually', because it's what happens in a regular installation.
