How do I transfer Fidelity data from one of my laptops to another. I looked at the \1.0.0.0\Data and there seems to be no data on that direcrory.

Thanks

Check out the Fidelity* subfolders, all the data goes there unless you relocated it to a different folder using Data Manager.

I found a subfolder of Data under Fidelity Investment..\ and under that subfolder there is a Strategies folder and a Dataset folder. I can see all my scripts under the strategies forlder but under Datset folder all I found were XML files of the data but not the actual data.

Either you relocated it, or you're in the wrong folder, or you're not seeing the directory in its entirety.

What is the full path?

You don't see a ..\1.0.0.0\Data\FidelityStaticProvider folder?

I have set up my data folder structure on my laptop. What is the best way to move this structure to my desktop (and in the future to move it from one machine to another) or do I have to make the changes manually?
Just copying the "DATA" folder between the machines does not seem to work.

If it doesn't seem to work, you've copied some different folder, or did it incorrectly, or are under a wrong impression. After enabling hidden file\folder visibility in Control Panel, simply follow this FAQ:

How to transfer Strategies and other data between computers?

There's nothing to add to it except that it works like a charm. Of course, it's assumed that your Wealth-Lab program folders contain the same set of extensions and/or custom DLLs (if you have developed any). These are stored under Program Files.

P.S. This is really a suboptimal choice for posting your question - this thread deals with the highly specific topic of relocation of the Data folder. This isn't nearly the same as synchronizing between two PCs. Please do not reply here but choose a more appropriate topic, as this thread should not become fragmented:

Importing My Strategies to a Second Computer
where is the strategy folder
How to export all my datasets, strategies etc to a new PC?
Location of WL Pro 6.1 data in Windows 7
How do you backup strategies/code in WL 6.2?
in which folder are user created trend lines kept?


This was just one year's worth of questions similar to yours. Please don't forget to include the precious details: describe exactly which steps you took, which folder locations and files you've copied, what makes you think it "doesn't seem to work". Thanks in advance.

I is working very good with your suggested link! Thanks.

You're welcome.

I may be missing something. I'm having the same troubles. I've read through the guides but found nothing that works, I tried unhiding files. What's the default location that the files are placed? I checked under strategies but didn't find it there.

Nobody else is having trouble. To quote the User Guide:

Windows versions 7, 8.1, 10, Server 2012, and later
C:\Users\Windows User Name\AppData\Roaming\Fidelity Investments\WealthLabPro\1.0.0.0\Data

I cannot imagine what can go wrong with selecting a radio button and OKing the dialog in Windows Explorer. Apart from the one linked in the Wiki FAQ, there are countless other guides on unhiding hidden files. Try to revisit them.

C:\Users\Windows User Name\AppData\Roaming\Fidelity Investments\WealthLabPro\1.0.0.0\Data

^ I didn't see that on the other posts, thanks Eugene.

I was looking at my D:\Wealthlab\Data\Strategies which shows all the other files just not the ones I've made. When I tried "Save as" I couldn't see where it was saving the files to.

When you said that you've read through the guides I assumed it's the Wealth-Lab User Guide (Help menu) > Data > Where data are stored?

Anyway, glad to have helped.
