Is it possible to CLONE my XBMC content and transfer it to a new PC? Thanks in advance.

If this is not possible perhaps someone could point me in the right direction? Thanks

Copy all the XBMC folder under your User.
C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC

Hi Peppe, I don't have this path on my PC Win 7! - no app data folder?

impossible, you have to show hidden folders.
but before try this
1. Start
2. type %APPDATA%\XBMC\userdata
3. press <Enter>

Hi Peppe, found it C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC - saved the folder.
Do I just replace the folder in the new PC xbmc installation?

If you are copying your media files (TV Shows, Movies, Music) you will have to copy them to folders with the same names on your new PC otherwise you will have to go through the process of adding them to your XBMC library from scratch.
This is because the databases in the 'userdata' folder have the complete paths of the files listed in them, so you cannot change the directory structure for the new PC and expect XBMC automatically to know where the media is.
