What needs to be copied from old to new Notepad++ installation?

What files need to be copied from my old computer’s Notepad++ installation to my new computer’s fresh Notepad++ installation to maintain my old workspace?

For a normal installation, then you can just copy over everything from
%AppData%\Notepad++\from the old to the new (and if you customized any of your autoCompletion, those will have to go fromc:\program files\Notepad++\autoCompletion\*.xmlon the old to the new… but customizing those is not as common as other customizations)(You also, of course, have to install Notepad++, and all the plugins. If you don’t want to use Plugins Admin to do the plugin install, you could just copy from
c:\program files\Notepad++\plugins\on the old to the new… but since many plugins may have been updated, this is a good chance to make sure you’re grabbing the most recent version, rather than just copying over the old-and-possibly-outdated version. And don’t overwritec:\program files\Notepad++\plugins\config\nppPluginList.dll, as you always want to have the most recent from the installation, not whatever old plugin list was on the old machine.)
