Hi annie,

Yes it should be possible with this process.


On Original PC

1. Stop WAMPServer
Make sure that the wampapache and wampmysqld processes are Stopped

2. Backup all of the C:\wamp folder and ALL subfolders to a CD or Thumb Drive or directly to the New PC



On New PC


1. Restore the C:\wamp folder and all its sub folders to the new PC if you used a CD or Thumb Drive

NOTE:
WAMPServer must be installed on the same drive on the new PC as it was on the old PC.
So if it was on the C: drive on the old PC it must be on the C: drive of the New PC.

2. Make a shortut of the C:\wamp\wampmanager.exe andplace it on your desktop.

3. Run WAMPServer from the new shortcut.

4. Using the wampmanager menus install the Apache and MySQL services like this.

wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Install Service

wampmanager -> MySQL -> Service -> Install Service

5. Then start all the services like so

wampmanager -> Start all Services

Make sure the wampmanager icon goes green.

6. Check the wampapache and wampmysqld services are set to manual start
Launch the services snapin.
WINDOWS KEY + R
Enter > services.msc
Find the above services and if necessary change the Start type: to manual

To change the strt type, Right click on the service name and select Properties
On the dialog that launches set Start type to Manual.



Dont destory the original PC or the Backup of all the wamp folders until you have checked everythig is working on the new PC.
