Yes. The entirety of the blocks and chainstate folders must be copied. This includes any and all contents.

I have copied blocks & chainstate to new installation but bitcoin core stuck in Connecting to peers.

Sounds like a firewall permissions issue... especially if you can't even connect "outbound"... if you goto: "Help -> Debug Window"... what does the "Number of Connections" line say?

A small possibility of it being a corruption. IIRC, many people couldn't connect to peers when their blockchain got corrupted even though the client didn't state that it was. Could you paste your debug.log here?

Go to Help>Debug Window>Console and try pasting in

Code:

addnode 217.20.23.204 add
