    Hi Chris

    You can copy your profile XML file over from your old PC to your new one, but you still might have to retune your motors.

    you could for reference go into the original config screens and print a copy of them just in case the xml didn't configure correctly, at least then you would have a record of each setting.

    You can print your XML file off and yes it will set all your I/O inc your motor pin config.

    When you move Mach, as others have said, all you need do is copy the profile (XML) file.

    The other thing, not yet mentioned, is your license file (you have licensed it, haven't you?).

    A further bit of good advice I've seen is to copy these two files to a USB stick, put it in a ziplock bag and tape it inside the PC or even onto the machine somewhere.
