tried moving vortex to a new hard-drive - did not go well and wanted a little bit of guidance.

hello!

the other day I tried moving my Vortex to a new drive and it went horribly so I tried moving it back by restoring a back-up but that also didn't work as I thought it would.

I currently have Vortex running fine and all my mods installed (although the mods have "no source assigned") - however it has got rid of all my profiles, some of them having almost a 1000 mods enabled.

When I drag them in from the back up, It doesn't seem to recognise them. I have them placed in the right folder and everything (AppData\Roaming\Vortex\skyrimse\profiles) and nothing, it still shows the default blank profile and another blank one I created to see if it was the right folder. I don't really know what to do as I really don't want to have to rebuild all of my modlists.

Any help at all would be appreciated - thank you.

You probably removed the appdata folder containing all Vortex's metadata. See this help article for the details on which files and folder need to be move when relocating Vortex: https://modding.wiki/en/vortex/users/migrating-to-a-new-pc
