Due to a recent computer issue I had to purchase a new computer. Fortunately I was able to install the old SSD drive in the new computer as a 2nd SSD device (D:). I installed VS Code on the C: drive. So the questions... Is there a folder/file on the D: drive that I can move to the C: drive so that all of the installed extensions and setting will be available?

  • https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/settings-sync You should migrate before moving the actual hardware, and that's the only supported approach. In current state, there isn't a reliable way to move (you can try all hacks over the internet, but no guarantee that they help). – Lex Li Dec 22 '22 at 20:16

under C:\Users\{Username}\.vscode you find a folder called extensions, this contains all your extensions

copy the folder and paste it in the second device

  • Copy/Paste worked fine. But, there are no Installed extensions showing in the extensions panel. – James A Wilson Dec 23 '22 at 17:45
  • try to copy settings.json from C:\Users\ {Username} \AppData\Roaming\Code\User – Ahmed Sbai Dec 23 '22 at 17:57
  • The AppData folder does not exists on the D:\Users\(UserName)\ directory. – James A Wilson Dec 23 '22 at 20:50
  • Daa... found the folder, copy/pasted the setting.json file to the C: drive. Opened vscode... nothing. Restarted system... nothing. Moved the contents of the Extensions folder to the C: drive... nothing. Did move the snippets.json file to the C: drive. That worked fine. Thanks for your help! – James A Wilson Dec 23 '22 at 21:44
