the local websites are stored in the www folder of wamp. the databases are stored in wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.yrversion/data folder (each database will have its own folder).

copy those folders over your new installation and all should work ok.

regards

I use XAMPP and recently I copied the folder from my old computer to another and… no problems. No instalation required.

What about WAMP … I have no idea. Maybe works as well.

Just try. :)
