Moving MySQL database to a new computer

I've got a MySQL 5.6 database running on my kitchen PC (Windows 7). It serves my XBMC media streamers as a distributed database allowing for synchronized watch flags, and play/pause. I've purchased a new computer and once I set it up I will install MySQL and want to move the database to the new machine.

My OS will stay the same Win 7 I'm using MySQL 5.6 for windows. The DB is approx 420mb.

Is there a document that shows how to do this? Is it as easy as copying the contents of C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\ to the new machine?

Thanks.
