Look for Files & Settings Transfer Wizard (System Tools) Follow it and select what you want to save.
Save the file(s) to a memory stick.
Import in same way to new PC.
On your old computer DON'T use the existing Files and settings transfer wizard, as you are likely to find that its output is not compatible with the version on your new computer.
