Hard to say, but if you like to save time I would strongly recommend to
try to keep the files on the same drive letter and main folder so you
can run the restore with "Find alternative files" disabled. With "Find
alternative files" disabled it should be fairly fast, can't say an exact
time but I would be surprised if it took more than an hour, likely it
will go a lot faster.
If you need to run it with "Find alternative files" enabled it can
probably take more than a day to do the restore, maybe even longer

It's disabled by default, so in that case just do a manual backup as
described on the wiki on the old computer. When doing the manual backup,
remember that you need to specify the full path (not just the filename)
in the "Backup file" parameter. The backup is usually pretty fast, it's
the restore that can take a lot of time if "Find alternative files" are
enabled.
