How to move Tribler state directory to another computer

Tribler uses versioned config dirs that all reside in a single state dir. State dir location for different OSes:

OS Path
Linux ~/.Tribler
MacOS ~/.Tribler
Windows C:\users<username>\appdata\roaming.Tribler

To move Tribler to another system you have to copy the .Tribler dir to the corresponding path completely. Alternatively, you can copy only the sub-dir corresponding to the version of Tribler you use, say .Tribler/7.10 (you'll have to create the parent .Tribler dir by hand though).

EXAMPLE: Windows, IvanPupkin username, source dir: C:\users\IvanPupkin\appdata\roaming\.Tribler copy to another machine for JohnDoe username: C:\users\JohnDoe\appdata\roaming\.Tribler
