I am moving it from Windows XP to 64-bit Win 7.Other people will chime in with precise folder paths. I no longer have access to any Windows XP machines, so I can't -- but a little exploration should reveal them. Somewhere on your system you'll have a file called "secring.gpg". In that directory you'll have some (or all) of -- * pubring.gpg * secring.gpg * trustdb.gpg * gpa.conf * gpg-agent.conf * gpg.conf * scdaemon.conf * random_seed Copy over all these files except random_seed. Don't re-use random_seed: sharing the same random_seed between two different machines can potentially be unwise. On the new machine, just install GnuPG from http://www.gpg4win.org. On the new machine, find where GnuPG has placed its gpg.conf file. Drop all the files from the old machine (except random_seed) into that folder, overwriting if necessary. With that, your migration should be complete.
Hello, Robert. Your procedure worked perfectly from what I can see. Thank you.
