Config Files

I just got a better computer and installed Buster on it.  I was running Stretch 2.9 .  I thought I could I rename the Linuxcnc folder and copy my Linuxcnc folder on the new install and it would be all setup.  It would not run at all with my files.  I did this on my last computer change with no problems.  Can this be done?

What I did was just replace the total linuccnc folder with the one from my old machine. I had a config file set up and tried to run from this file. I just got a page full of junk that said at the top something like "errors encountered". I was so tired of trying to set every thing up I just went back to my old machine. It runs cnc fine but is very slow for every thing else. i'll try again later. Thanls for the reply.

Thanks, I'll try that when i get the machine back out.

I copied the config folder and it is running slick as a button. Thanks for the advice.
