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.
