I have an old Vista laptop that I have my projects on. I just bought a
new one and want to migrate my Lazarus and its additional components
to the new Win 8. Is that possible?

What is the problem? Just install Lazarus, components which you use
and rebuild Lazarus. That's all( of course copy your projects and
build again).

Or simply zip your c:\lazarus and restore it on the other computer
and  copy and paste the %localappdata%\lazarus to the same position in
your new profile.

(hint:  type "%localappdata%" by windows->run aka windowskey-R )

That should go a long way.

Thanks for the responses.

Exdatis, One component is PowerPDF. It is not installed easily in a
windows system. It does not have a .lpk file (my low skill level does
not help)

Marcov, I did what you suggested. I did get most of everything. just
have to figure out PowerPDF. Any ideas?

(specifically pack_powerpdf)

I'm sorry, for the time being I can't help you, I've not used PowerPdf
so far and I don't know the problems.
