Synchronizing to a laptop

I'm trying to sync for the first time some of my desktop setup to a new laptop. I'm logged into Opera sync on both devices and see my synchronized content on the source end. I created a passphrase on the source end and checked encrypted so I can send passwords too. Now what? The laptop says "View your synchronized data," but then says I have no sync data stored on the next screen. It says to sign in to start syncing, but I already am. And the video showing how to sync is on a smartphone. Not particularly helpful.

@genegold Login to Sync in the laptop and enable synchronisation.

@leocg Ok, but how do I use the synchronized content? For example, how do I get the SD data into the SD on the laptop, and how do I get the Passwords into the part of settings? Or is it all manual (re-)entry from here?

@genegold Possible Fix:
On your original device, visit sync.opera.com or go to opera://settings/syncSetup. Ensure that all the data you want (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) shows as synced.

If it doesn't, re-login will refresh the connection.

@genegold Speed Dials from other installations can be found in Other Speed Dials. To copy them to the current Speed Dial, you go to the bookmarks manager page (opera://bookmarks) and paste them on Speed Dial.
