Move local WordPress project to a different machine [Solved]

Is there a way to copy a project from one pc to another?

I've been trying to find a way to copy my local WordPress project from my PC to my laptop. I've installed Laragon on my laptop and have tried to copy over the project folder from the 'www' directory and the project folder from the 'mysql' directory and I haven't had any luck getting it to work.

Any help would be appreciated thank you!

@akzidenzgrotezk : What is the error message?

@leokhoa : It forces me to re-install WordPress again, gives me a bunch of WordPress database errors, then when I hit 'Log In' it takes me back to the initial WordPress install screen

@akzidenzgrotezk : Are you sure you copied the mysql folder correctly?
Normally, you just need www and the mysql directories.
However, please re-try by copying the whole laragon folder.

@leokhoa : Thanks! It's solved, once I copied the entire laragon>data folder everything worked.
I just deleted the databases for the projects I didn't want on my laptop and it's still working! Cheers!

@akzidenzgrotezk : I'm glad to hear that - enjoy the portability of Laragon
