Please don't do this. This will work for Thunderbird; it will *appear* to work for GnuPG, but... GnuPG has a habit of putting per-machine files in that directory, things like socket file descriptors, lock files, and other such things. Most of that is harmless. But some of it, such as random_seed, are files that *must not* be shared between PCs. Instead, use a tool to do the migration. Something like: https://rjhansen.github.io/gpg_wpf_migrator/ Use the Profile Backup Tool on one machine to create a ZIP archive containing only those files that may be shared between GnuPG instances. Install GnuPG on the second machine, then install the Profile Backup Tool on it. Use the PBT to restore from the archive you created.
