I'm seeing lots of discussions about transferring to Macs but haven't found much on Windows. What's the best way to transfer everything from my old Windows system to my new Windows computer?

Thanks all.

I assume the OP means that Lightroom should make a backup of the preferences, profiles, presets, plugins, etc. That is what you need to move to a new computer, and it would be a lot easier if all that stuff could be found in a single backup package.

Yes!
