Migrating to a new instance

I have my immich instance on a slow NAS box. It's working fine, but is slow. I now have a mini PC running Windows and have docker installed. I want to setup Immich on the new windows PC, and store all my large (original) images in the current location on the NAS.

So I have mapped a folder on my Windows PC (P:) to the folder on the NAS with everything. Photo attached of my mapped drive.

So P: has encoded-video, library, upload etc.

I have a backup of the database.

On my new PC, I want to store the thumbs, encoded-video and database in my C:\Storage\Immich folder (Photo attached). I've just created a Datbase folder so far, hoping Immich will create the encoded-video, thumbs etc.

In my compose, I'm guessing DB_DATA_LOCATION should be c:\Storage\Immich\Database ?
UPLOAD_LOCATION should be P: ?
But then, Unsure how it 'knows' to generate encoded video and thumbs on C:\Storage\Immich\thumbs etc.

Seeking assistance on what to do.
