The move to a new computer is just like an upgrade since when you
upgrade, you install a clean copy then move the necessary files to the
new installation from the old one.
On the old computer, create an INI file using File/Preferences/Write INI file.
Copy that .INI file, your licence key (from the DX4WIN directory), and
your log files from the SAVE directory to a thumb drive.
If you've modified them, take the SAVE\dx4win.rep and SAVE\dx4win.tcp
files from the old computer as well.
Install DX4WIN on the new computer. Restore your license key to the
new DX4WIN folder, then the logs to the SAVE folder.
Run dx4win, merge the .INI file and open your log.
Jim's page has much more detail that you really should read as it will
help you avoid a few roadblocks.

copy everything from the SAVE subdirectory from the old computer to the new one.
