– From the drop-down menu, select “Bookmarks” and then click on “Bookmark manager.”
– In the Bookmark Manager, click on the ⁝ (three dots) again and select “Export bookmarks.”
– Choose a location to save the exported bookmarks file (e.g. desktop) and click “Save.”
– Transfer the exported bookmarks file to the new laptop using a USB drive, email, or any other method.
