How to transfer Pidgin between PC's

A fleet member asked about installing and setting up Pidgin on a new PC. I created this guide as the super simple way to do that without having to reconfigure on the target.

If you have the same installer you used on the first PC it makes it safer, but for simplicity I'll mention using the latest Pidgin:

• You will need a USB memory stick for the transfer (other suitable transfer mediums apply).

1. Download the Pidgin client here : http://www.pidgin.im/
2. On you original PC with working Pidgin.
3. Open Windows Explorer and in the address bar, type %appdata% and press enter: 
4. You will see similar to the following:
5. 
6.  Find and right click on .purple. 
7.  Click "Copy" from the menu
8.  
9. Next, navigate to your USB drive, in My Computer right click and choose "Paste":
10. When the copy completes, that the USB memory stick and plug it into your new PC.
11. Ensure Pidgin is installed, but don't bother configuring.
12. Open your USB Memory Stick in Explorer and right click on .purple and choose "Copy" again.
13. Repeat Steps 3 and 4. Then right click on some white space in that folder and choose "Paste":
14. 
15.  Launch Pidgin and your configuration should be identical to your first PC.
