Moving Resolve Studio to new PC
Hi, just got a new PC and all my media is on an external drive. How do I tell Resolve on the new machine where the media is located, and how do I bring over all my project files?
thanks

You need to back up you database and copy that to the external drive. It’s easy and you should have done that on your old machine or whenever you are doing software updates and as a general good practice.
Import that into the new Resolve PC and just open up your projects. Make sure the external drive is using the same drive letter as it was on the old computer. You can always just open a project and it will tell you if media is offline and what the drive path was previously. Close Resolve, change the drive letter and reopen Resolve and it should all be connected

You should also learn about how to backup your database. Rather than finding where Resolve hides it, you can go to the database and backup a copy to an external drive for safety and that can also go to another computer when upgrading.
