You also need to get your uploaded images from the old one. I don't know where your images directory is on Ubuntu. Any configuration changes or extensions added will also need to be copied.

You only need to move the database contents. The MW code is essentially the same. 1 - Backup the database. 2 - Install a fresh version of MW on the Windows platform. Make sure you use the same DB prefix as was on the Ubuntu platform. 3 - Restore the DB to the Windows platform. This will overwrite the newly installed DB. 4 - If the Windows MW version is newer than the Ubuntu version, run the update.php script (info is in the UPGRADE file in the wiki's root). That should be it.
