Copy Visual Studio/VC ++ from One Computer to AnotherStep 1: Navigate to the folder C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Visual Studio Projects. Connect your flash drive to your computer. Step 2: Open the flash drive in a new Windows Explorer. Step 3: Copy the project folder and paste it onto your flash drive.
Most extensions are per-user and are installed in the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<Visual Studio version>\Extensions\ folder. A few extensions are administrative extensions and are installed in the <Visual Studio installation folder>\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ folder.
Installation location During installation, Extensions and Updates looks for the contents of the VSIX package in a folder under %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Extensions. By default, the installation applies only to the current user, because %LocalAppData% is a user-specific directory.
Open in VisualStudio the folder that contain the "nameFile. vsix" file. File, Open Folder..., click right in the "nameFile. vsix" into de VisualStudio, and click in install extension VSIX.
I would look in this directory
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions
That is where the extensions are stored, copy that to your new PC.
I'm not sure if this will work 100% but you can give it a shot.
