Missing library after windows 10 re-install

Had a bit of an issue with my Windows 10 and had to re-install Windows. I was able to save all my personal data, just lost the programs.

I re-installed Logos 7 successfully, but it doesn't seem to be recognizing my 3000+ book library. My documents are available though.

Any suggestions to "re-connect" my library with this new installation of Logos 7? I really don't want to have to delete my library and re-download it. I use satellite internet and it will take me forever.

It sounds like you have a copy of the Logos data files somewhere on your disk

If so, you might be able to use a variant of method 2 at https://wiki.logos.com/Quick_Installation_onto_multiple_computers (pasted below):

Method 2

This method saves resource downloading and indexing but gets installation files from Logos servers.
Please read Before you Start carefully.
Note: Your Logos folder name could be \Logos, \Logos4 or \Logos5 depending on how you upgraded.

Backup the ...\Logos folder from a working installation to an external drive
Install Logos/Verbum from the appropriate Setup link above.
- if you want to install a beta version use the link from the Beta forum
- select Custom installation and uncheck “Automatically Download Updates”
- change the installation folder (eg. E:\, C:\Users\username) or leave as default
- immediately exit the Sign-in window after the installation has finished
- if the window does not appear go to the next Step
If they exist delete the following folders from the new installation and replace them from your backup
- \Logos\Data
- \Logos\Documents
- \Logos\Users
- these are the only folders that you need from backup
Start Logos and sign-in
Open some resources. If you get the message “This resource is no longer in your library”:-
- enter scan <path to backup resources> in the Command box
- restart Logos for versions prior to v6
- Logos can take some time to discover your resources

<path to backup resources> is ...\Logos\Data\randomId\ResourceManager\Resources

But I would have expected the data to start downloading automatically if you didn't do something to prevent it
