Importing existing QT Creator project

[Acer]

Hello I have an existing QT creator project with the .pro and the .pro.user files and everything and I moved it to a new computer install. When I try to open the .pro file in the new installs qt creator it says it can't find settings and the project isn't configured and I can't work with it. Please advise how to fix.

@Acer Did you also install Qt on the other machine?

Its a C++ based project. I just worked on it through Qt creator. Do I need to install QT itself?

@Acer If you want to open a pro project file (qmake based) then you need Qt as qmake is part of qt.
