Backup your wallet and paste in the new Bitcoin folder.

This.
You can even email the wallet.dat file it's so small (bad idea due to theft risks)
Emailing a banks worth of money... what a world we live in

Do a backup from the wallet File:Backup wallet or similar, to an encrypted USB.

Setup the wallet on the new computer and let it run, that'll create a new empty wallet. Stop that wallet and the look then to replace that new wallet with the old wallet.
If Linux, look for the ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat and move that to the new computer same location. Restart the wallet and it should be everything you expect; only then, delete the wallet.dat from the old computer.. and I would dd zero complete the old computer to ensure that old wallet isn't recoverable.
