Point to the same profile (backup beforehand) and see if that solves
your problem.
I do not use the same profile on my Win10/Ubuntu linux dualboot - if I
absolutely need to ensure they are in sync I just use grsync/rsync
between them. That said, I have changed to primarily using Google
Calendar as the medium between both Lightnings (Win10-Lightning / GC /
linux-Lightning) and so far everything stays in sync w/o any real issues.
