Hi Follow these steps 1. Copy the entire project into the new machine. 2. Make sure you do have Visual Studio & required sdk's installed in new machine. 3. If you dont have sql installed in the new Machine please install SQL first. 4. Backup the DB which you are using with app as shown here 5. Restore the same in the new machine's SQL Server 6. Check the connection string in you app. Make sure that your SQL Server is correct as per new machine. 7. Build & run the app.
