Answer 1

You can do the restore thing by :

1. Copy your wordpress source to your new htdocs folder

2. Login the phpmyadmin of your old laptop then select the old database,backup it to a sql file;

   Please note that to tick the important steps:

   "Export method: Custom - display all possible options "

   "Object creation options"

    Add CREATE DATABASE / USE statement, Add DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION / EVENT / TRIGGER statement IF NOT EXISTS (less efficient as indexes will be generated during table creation) Truncate table before insert

3. Login the phpmyadmin of your new laptop then import the sql file.

4. Go to the wp-config.php to set your database user account and password.

5. If you run it in the remote server, please check wp_options to update the correct site_url or home.
