I use online wallets but I think you just need to copy and backup the wallet.dat files in both of your wallets then add them files back into your new wallets.

Use the 'backup wallet' feature in the menu. It will allow saving a copy of wallet.dat, which you can place in the datadir on your new computer.

You can also just copy the wallet.dat file, but don't do so while the program is running, or hasn't shut down cleanly.
