so i play eso on two separate computers. on my desktop (preferred, better control, better graphics , etc), and on my wife's laptop (not preferred, less control, minimal graphics). my desktop has all of the addons i like in the configuration i like. if i copied the Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns folder and transferred to the laptop via thumb drive, would A: the addons work properly and B: the configuration settings apply properly to the laptop?

    You also need to copy the contents of the "SavedVariables" folder since that's where the AddOns (and the game itself) save their data.

    Yes, if you wanted to keep your AddOns and do a clean install, you would need to backup the AddOns folder as well as the SavedVariables folder.

    Also might be a good idea to not overwrite any files that are already in the SavedVariables folder on the target computer since the game itself has a few files in there as well.

    I got a new PC several months ago, and transferring my ESO addons was easy: I just had to copy the 'Addons' and 'SavedVariables' directories between the PCs.
