Why Do People Revert to the Previous Version of OBS If you were using Reaper plugins, OBS Teleport, NDI, or any other kind of plugins on your previous installation, you will need to reinstall them in order for them to function properly after migrating your obs-studio folder. When you open your OBS the following time, it will seem precisely as it did on your previous installation. Once OBS is stopped, just paste the copy of the obs-studio folder you prepared from your old installation into the Roaming directory rather than using the new folder OBS created. Since there is nothing to adjust, you can close it as soon as you open it. Once you have switched to the new platform, all you need to do is install and run OBS.

This folder will keep the settings and overlays on your previous Windows or OBS installation intact.

You must locate the Roaming folder on your computer (C: UsersAdministratorAppDataRoamingobs-studio) and make a duplicate of the complete obs-studio folder in order to find your files. The next crucial step is to make a backup of OBS with all the settings in place.
