Backup of project

  • You can download entire project from htdocs folder or htdocs folder itself.

  • In this way you will get all your previous project.

Backup Database backup.

Now Just replace htdocs folder with your new laptop htdocs folder or put project file there in new htdocs folder. and import DB backup to your xamp phpmyadmin.

htdocs is good for all your files, but you still need to backup your databases. Use the database export function in phpMyAdmin (https://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database), then you will need to import those databases when you have xampp setup on the new computer.

According to your simple expression, I could only answer below.

If you want to run the exactly the same website in another computer. you will need to backup all the related items including the database and plugins installed and then restore them in your new computer.
