How did you install Jellyfin on Synology? I'm assuming docker, and if that's the case, the transfer should be simple if you plan to run it under docker again. Otherwise, it may be more difficult or not possible. By the way, what's the target OS on the new computer? Edit: I just realized you asked if you'd have to mess with Windows, so that pretty much answers the question. I've never run docker under Windows, but if your installation was done on docker like I'm speculating, then it should be transferable by creating a JF container in the new machine and porting over everything from the config directory. At least that's how it works under Linux, not sure about Windows. And as long as you point the container to the media already sitting in your NAS in the same way, then it should run as it was before, preserving everything, including metadata and users.
