Migrating to a new hard drive & OS, how to transfer settings?

So i have the instructions on how to migrate the server settings, what are the folders and files I need to copy to the new system for MBC? Thanks!

I would suggest re-installing MBC and then just copying over %appdata%\MediaBrowser-Classic.

Ebr I will be moving my parents htpc to Emby in a couple weeks. My plan is to just replace their media harddrives with new ones that have copies of all my content. I currently have all metadata stored in each media files individual folder. My assumption is it should scan those photos and nfo files and not have to rescrape everything... Is this correct? I have looked through the nfo files and also noticed they have all the genre info that I manually changed so that info should copy over as well?

Yes, that should work.
