Hello!
That's the question. I created a backup in openelec and I'd like to use it for Kodi in Windows but I didn't see a restore function in Kodi and the backup addon won't recognize the backup file OpenElec created.
So, how can I have all my settings of openElec in Kodi without doing all again?
Thank you!

Well, if anyone comes to this htread for an answer:
following the link Redwingsfansfc gave me, I was able to know where are Kodi files.
First, since I wanted to copy OpenElec settings to Windows, I needed a program that would allow me to see files from an ext4 partition. You can google for that. since I had installed OpenElec in the same disk I use for windows, I decided to download ext2fsd. If you have your openelec installation in a usb drive, probably your best choice would be Ext2explore which you don't have to install.
All the files you need are in storage/.kodi/userdata/ (.kodi is a hidden folder). So copy all the files and folders from that hidden folder
Now in windows press Win+R and copy this: %APPDATA%\kodi\userdata which will lead you to where kodi files are installed in windows. Now you cand paste all the files you copied. Let windows replace anything and you are done!
