Well I have a pasword manager which keeps track of all my important url's (including my speed dials), so I copied all the url's from there to a notepad page saved it and imported it via usb to my laptop. Then it was easy to copy all the url's into the 'add a site' feature on the speed dial page one at a time The result is I now have all my speed dials on my laptop!
PS: For some reason the speed dial transfer only copied 3 of my speed dials onto my speed dial page, and nothing in the bookmarks folders? Anyway, thank you so much for trying!
