    So, I found this answer but it didnt solve my problem .
    Original project was built with Unity 2019.1.10f1. It is an AR project with vuforia. There are .meta files everywhere but I get multiple errors when trying to move it.
    Details: Tried to open it in a machine running Unity 2019.2.13f1, Android, iOS, windows, webgl support installed.
    I get multiple errors and warnings. Tried many different things, nothing works so far.
    Any help is appreciated.
    (I was told by the friend who did the project to remove the com.unity.textmeshpro@2.0.1 folder from PackageCache, didnt make any difference)
    I include images of what is happening and error log.

    Thanks a lot!

    To move a project to a new computer, you just copy the entire project folder. Your warnings about assets not imported yet, and conflicting GUID's tells me you're doing something else.

    So here's what I'd do
    1) Since the project was made in 2019.1.10 on the old computer, install 2019.1.10 on the new computer
    2) Delete the project folder on the new computer
    3) Copy the entire project folder from the old computer to the new computer (not copying the library and temp folders is optional)
    4) Open the project with 2019.1.10 on the new computer

    Once you get it to open correctly, only then try upgrading its Unity version. Otherwise with the way you're doing it now when you hit an issue you won't know if it is a problem with your file copy or with the Unity upgrade.

    Thanks! Will try!
    P.S: I was really not doing something else. Just took the whole folder he sent me and tried to open the project from there, as he sent it. But... anyway, thanks again

    What if you copy the project on the SAME computer, from one location to another, does it work then?

    Sorry but the other computer is in another country and the dude is unavailable right now.
    Let's suppose I am stuck with it as it is.
