Moving UE to a new machine

What is the easiest way to move UE to a new PC? I want the new installation to be identical to the old in every way, so that I don't see any difference when I use it--UE settings, history, preferences, servers, everything. Once the new version is up and running, I won't be using the old, so there won't be any synch problems.

I was about to install the registered version of UE on the new machine, give it my key and then overwrite the UE directory and subdirectories with the old ones, but I thought I'd better ask first.

(I have to believe this has been asked already, but I searched under 'migrate' and 'transfer' and didn't find it.)

Thanks.

You can just copy the database then when UE starts point it to the database directory (or edit menu->properties->general, database directory, browse).

If you only need settings you can copy the database "Settings" subdirectory only.
