I have to use both Ubuntu and Windows. Consequently I also need to use Google Chrome on both. I have tried to transfer my chrome profiles FROM Ubuntu 20.04 to Windows 10 unsuccessfully despite scrutinizing the different guidance found on here, blogs and Google chrome support.

(Note: I have read several threads on transferring profiles from windows to another windows pc, or windows to linux. This is different, I want to transfer from Ubuntu to Windows)

So far, here is what I have done:

1. Copy the chrome profiles located in : ~/.config/google-chrome from Ubuntu to a pen drive,
2. Delete profiles in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data on the drive of the windows target pc,
3. Finally copy from pen drive to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data.

When opening Chrome from the target Windows 10 PC, the expected profiles do not show up. What I would expect is the following chrome profiles menu showing up when launching Google Chrome: enter image description here

In other words, the 3 steps described above do not work. I wonder if transferring chrome profiles from Ubuntu to windows is even possible.

Please note that some of the chrome profiles are linked to NO google account, so the google sync is not an option. In fact I want to keep the chrome settings (such as the name of the chrome window and other chrome settings like pinned tabs)

Is there a way to achieve a successful transfer of chrome profiles FROM ubuntu TO windows?

Thank you all.
