1.) Make a backup with your existing TB! installation.
2.) Copy that backup (*.tbk file) to the new machine.
3.) Download TB! onto thte new machine.
4.) when your installation starts, it will ask you whether you want to
restore from a backup.
It is that simple indeed. I have done thgat a couple of times. There
are some settings that will not be restored; so minor that I don't
remember which.
I have always used the same version on the new machine. I don't know
whether it will work with another version (64 instead of 32), others
will chip in.
