I was able to login etc... and turn on sync but nothing happened. I can't access my previous settings, mods etc... nor search history and stuff. I can see my old laptops stuff and my new but it seems both have been separated. This is very frustrating can somebody help?

@leocg Nothing synced at all, literally nothing. I have a page when I click on my profile and I can see my old stuff from the previous PC but you have to be kidding me if you say that I have to restart from scratch. How does that make any sense, that isn't sync, that's just saving locally at that point. Anyways thanks for the reply.

Check your internet connection: Ensure that your new laptop has a stable internet connection. Syncing requires an active and reliable connection to synchronize your data.
Update Opera GX: Make sure you have the latest version of Opera GX installed on your new laptop. Outdated versions may have compatibility issues or bugs that could affect the syncing process. Visit the official Opera GX website or the appropriate app store to check for updates.
Verify sync settings: Double-check that the sync settings are enabled correctly. Open Opera GX on your new laptop, go to Settings > Synchronization, and ensure that the relevant options (such as bookmarks, passwords, and other data types) are selected for syncing.
Sign out and sign back in: Sign out of your Opera GX account on your new laptop and then sign back in. This action can refresh the synchronization process and resolve any temporary glitches.
Clear cache and cookies: Clearing the cache and cookies of your browser can sometimes help resolve syncing issues. Go to Settings > Clear browsing data and select the appropriate options. Ensure that you select "Cached images and files" and "Cookies and other site data."
Restart your laptop: Sometimes a simple restart can fix temporary issues. Restart your new laptop and try syncing again after the reboot.
