Hello, before I started storing my library on a NAS, this is what I did. 1. Open up your music folder and find the iTunes folder. 2. Copy it with control C 3. Asuming you have a USB external drive or Thumb stick plugged in, locate it and copy the folder there 4. Once it’s finished, disconnect from old machine. 5. Plug in to new machine 6. Locate and find external device, open it, and copy it with control C, or if you would like to completely move it, hit control x. 6. Open your music folder, and paste it there with control V Now when you open iTunes, hold down the shift key, it could be control, haven’t used windows in a awhile. But hold down the proper key to change or point your library to the folder in music you just moved or copied. If you do it correctly, it will load up as if it were always on that new machine. HTH
