The file location of your current installation will help determine whether you should do a clean install then transfer file or not. If Pegasus Mail is installed in C:\PMAIL with the mailboxes in C:\PMAIL\MAIL then you can copy the entire contents of C:\PMAIL to the new machine then do an install (upgrade) of Pegasus Mail v4.63 to that same location. Running the Pegasus Mail installer is required so that the new machine will know Pegasus Mail is there and can be configured as the default mail program. I have had success doing this in reverse as well. I do a new install but don't do any configuring then I copy the entire C:\PMAIL folder from the old install overtop of the new install overwriting all files. Worst case, you delete C:\PMAIL from the new machine and start again. The important thing here is that the paths MUST be identical on both machines and must not be anywhere inside of the \PROGRAM FILES folder. Make sure to keep your old install intact until all is well on the new machine.
If you are not sure where Pegasus Mail is installed go to Help | About Pegasus Mail and click the Info button. These three lines will tell you where Pegasus Mail is installed and where the mailboxes are.
WINPMAIL.EXE directory;
Home mailbox location:
New mailbox location:
If Pegasus Mail is not currently installed in C:\PMAIL then do a new install on the new machine, configure it including creating users (same as in your old install), then copy message files, folder files, address book files, etc. from the mailbox folders on the old machine to the same mailbox folders on the new machine. Start with all .cnm files (new mail messages), all .pmm and .pmi files (folders and associated indexes) and all .pmr and .pm! files (addressbooks and indexes). There is a guide to Pegasus Mail filenames and extensions that can
be valuable in determining any other files to copy. Find it at:

There should not be a need to overwrite any files during the copy process as the files in the new mailbox folders are mostly configuration files which you don't want to disturb.
Tip: Use the configuration screens from the old Pegasus Mail for reference as you configure the new install or use a text editor to open and print the pmail.ini file and any .pnd files to use for reference. These files are located in the Home or New mailbox folders.
