welcome to the notepad++ community, @HotBit-z80
on a notepad++ default installation, your macros will be stored at
%AppData%\Notepad++in a file calledshortcuts.xml.copy that file to a usb drive to restore it later.
(best practice is to copy the whole%AppData%\Notepad++folder, and restore it after a new installation, as it also contains other settings.)for everything else you would like to preserve, e.g. if you want to clone your complete notepad++ setup, including all plugins, we would need your debug information from the notepad++ menu
? > debug info... > copy debug info into clipboard.

Hi!,
Uups, I found the shortcuts.xml file, but my macros are not there (just a macro named “Trim Trailing Space and Save” . where are my macros?
-
We would need your “debug info” (see above for how to get it) to be totally sure, but see if there is a
shortcuts.xmlfile in the same folder as yournotepad++.exefile. If there is, check it for your macros.

my debug info:
Notepad++ v7.7 (64-bit)
Build time : May 19 2019 - 13:05:35
Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)
Plugins : ComparePlugin.dll DSpellCheck.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll
-
as your local conf mode is off it means that the configuration files are stored
within %AppData%\Notepad++. Did you search there?
