I work in the context of my PhD thesis with the program EndNote. Although I have not written so much and added quotes, but I've done a lot of literature research and created a large collection of paper in EndNote, which I want to use later. Now my laptop has broken and it looks like I would have to get a new one. Is my precious EndNote Library lost or can I simply "log in" on the new PC and the collection is stored on an account, so to speak?
Maybe someone else has an idea how I can spare me 100 hours of work and not have to look for all new papers.
You can configure EndNote to store the data online, but if you did it, you probably would.
But if your laptop's hard drive has not broken, then you can upgrade it and read the data from it. For this you could put them in an external HDD case (borrow or buy from someone, costs ~ 10 euro) or a desktop PC (this may require a SATA cable, for example, you could disconnect from the DVD drive and to connect the hard disk).
What exactly is broken on the notebook? - Maybe it can still be judged.
If the hard drive is still ok, it can be z. B. Read on another PC.
This also works with a rescue DVD, such as Computerbild Emergency DVD.
Thank you for your answer.
According to repair shop, the motherboard is broken…
Then I would remove the hard drive, with the help of a friend who knows it, connect it to another PC provisionally as a second hard drive and read the EndNote files.
Do not forget to copy and back up the EndNote profile folder called EndNote, which should be located in (C. \ Appdata \ Roaming * (it's also possible that it's in Local instead).
It should then be reinstalled on the new PC or laptop before installing the program EndNote at the same location (ie, depending on where it was before: roaming or local). [(C. \ user \ your name \ Appdata \ …]
Appdata, Local and Roaming are hidden. They can be made visible in the explorer options. (Explorer Options> View> Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives> Apply)
Okay, then I'll try that.
An error has crept in the second paragraph in the path.
If the old hard drive is connected, the former system partition will get a new drive letter, ie: not anymore (C. But perhaps eg (E. Or (F.) the operating system with your "My files" etc.
So the path z. B. (E. \ Appdata \ Roaming or Local, be.
If you find somebody in your environment who is reasonably familiar with it, the whole thing is not a problem.
