You need to shut down both Roon programs on the old computer, Roon (the client) and Roon Server.

3

Right click on the Roon Server icon that will be found in the “applications running in the background” section of the Taskbar and choose the Quit option to close Roon Server. Then it can be uninstalled.

If you want to continue to use Roon (the Control component) on your old laptop, then you don’t need to uninstall Roon and Roon Server - just uncheck the “Launch at startup” option of Roon Server, so that it no longer runs.

If your server is (and has been on) the Nucleus One, you do not need to uninstall the old Roon. Just install Roon on the new laptop and then once you start Roon on the new laptop connect to the server on the Nucleus One.

Do NOT “set up Roon Server on this PC” as that will create a new server.

If it is a new laptop you may need to add exceptions to your firewall to be able to see your existing Nucleus One.

Here is some more info on connecting to the Nucleus One (if needed):
