Thank you both very much for your help.
I have now managed to get Knots up and running using the method suggested by nc50lc.

As for the Blockchain re download issue, Knots seems to have picked up the information I already had by itself without me needing to do as @nc50lc suggested.
Good, reusing the datadir used by Bitcoin Core will work.
But since you're using a different client, it would be best to let it verify the Blockchain and re-create the UTXO set instead of trusting the blocks that were downloaded by the other client downloaded.

Anyways, your previous node is the reference client (Bitcoin Core) so there's not much difference in terms of block storage and it's pretty much safe to use
as long as you verified both software.
