@wenfangdu: Until now you can copy the Settings.xmal directly into the specific folder (You can search for "Settings.xaml" in your old machine, remember its path, copy the file out and override the new one).

@MaledongGit Thanks, just a small typo there:

Until now you can copy the Settings.xmal [should be xaml]

How is this possible for a Microsoft Store edition when the WindowsApps folder is locked down?

Whichever edition you use, the default location is AppData, not Local.
(i.e. C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\ScreenToGif\Settings.xaml)
