If you are simply trying to move the folders this will not work except in some cases. What ram1009 says is true for the most part. You will need the installer files if you wish to do this.
Are the 2 machines networked ? If so share the folder and or CD drive of the one you will install from and connect to that from the one you need to install to. It's done all the time.
Yes I chose different brands. But those are still reliable brands that friends have used. I am not a laptop guy for gaming. But my friends love their's. Hope some more ppl chime in with a little more expertise.
This is under $1000 cad. But somewhere I would start if you are looking at any type of gaming with it.

Maybe someone with more knowledge of the american market of laptops can put some up there.
