If you installed as an admin it is in the ProgramData folder. Otherwise I think it is in your user appdata directory? I don't recall where exactly it is. C:\Users/<yourUsername>\AppData\Local?

You're a wizard!  Found it in AppData.

Dumb question, on the new machine, should I install Jellyfin and then overwrite the AppData there with that from the original machine?

Install Jellyfin on the new machine, stop Jellyfin, overwrite the AppData folder, then start Jellyfin.

Thank you!
