Error when accessing the databases in phpMyAdmin

[harkon]

I just updated my XAMPP in order to move from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7 but now I have a problem with accessing the old databases through phpMyAdmin. Whenever I click on a database, I get the following error:

MySQL said: Documentation

#1932 - Table 'phpmyadmin.pma__table_uiprefs' doesn't exist in engine

I also receive the following notice:

Create missing phpMyAdmin configuration storage tables.

How can I solve this issue?

Don't copy over the old databases. Backup only your own databases and not the mysql, phpmyadmin or any other database you don't created your own.

Copying over an Xampp Installation over another will result in many cases in an corrupt installation.

Do you mean I should export all the databases that I've created in the old installation through phpMyAdmin and then import them after I finish installing the new version of Xampp again through phpMyAdmin?

Thank you. It's working.
