It may not be a good idea to backup the complete FS installation and just
restore it to the new system. It should work - at least in places, but you
should expect some strangeness.
What I would do, is that I would uninstall FS and direct the installer to
keep your personal files, doing this removes the simulator, but the complete
structure of the installation will be intact together with your planes and
stuff. Now, backup the entire Directory Tree (Folder Structure!) of the
installation together with the FS files in the Documents and Settings
folder.
On the new system, install the simulator in the normal fashion, and then
restore your backup! This should give you less of a head-ache.
