I am leaving a Vista box and going to a Win10 box.

On the Win10 box I have installed the latest Gpg4win with gpg
2.2.11.

I have done a gpg --version command in a command prompt and I see
that both the Win10 installation and the older version on the Vista
box have their "home" at C:/Users/.../AppData/Roaming/gnupg where
"..." is my user name.

Can I just copy some of the files from the Vista box to the same
location on the Win10 box? Or do I need to do some sort of export
and import?

Assuming that I can just copy the files back and forth, I know that
I'd need to copy the secring.gpg and pubring.gpg files to the new
location, but what other files from the old location should I copy
over?

You should be able to copy the entire former folder over to W10. Before you do, rename the new Gpg4win folder on W10 to something else so you can get back if something goes wrong.

But you need to understand something. Microsoft WILL take a copy of your keys and keep them. This is what W10 is all about. Grabbing everyone's data and storing it on their disk. A court order is all there is between your keys and the government.

Actually, MS may cooperate completely with the authorities without a court order.

Well, thanks for confirming that I can just load in the old data.
I'll just move all of the current data, on the Win10 box, elsewhere
and then copy the old data from the Vista box into the C:/Users/.../AppData/Roaming/gnupg folder on the Win10 box.

As for M$ copying my keys, is there any proof that they're doing
that, or is this another conspiracy thing? I know that I can be
paranoid, but I also try to be rational about it.

Hi !

I suggest just to copy the files you want to decrypt and install a fresh Gpg4win package on you new device / OS.

If GPG is anything like PGP, you can copy your keyrings -- both public
and private -- from one system to another. The format of the keyrings
is supposed to be standardized.

However, option settings might be different between versions of GPG and
also between versions of PGP and are likely not portable between GPG and
PGP.

Trump disavows "Send her back" rally chant. We must all remember,
however, it was Trump who first said "Send them back". In any case,
Trump praised the chanters as "incredible patriots".
