The default keyring location on Windows for GnuPG is %APPDATA%\GnuPG. On Vista this typically expands to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuPG Copy/Move this entire directory to the same location on your new machine, changing <username> if necessary. running 'gpg -version' at a command prompt on either machine will list out the expected location of your keyring files. -- John P.
