Try this instead of copying it.
once i save it what should i name. do i just then move that file to the roaming folder with a specific file name or what should it be
Exit QT wallet, wait for it to shut down about a minute
I see your using Windows, Navigate to:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\
or %appdata%\Bitcoin
Copy:
wallet.dat , keep this name, copy the file and overwrite the existing wallet.dat on your new machine in the corresponding %appdata%\Bitcoin Folder (While the new QT Wallet is not running)
Edit: Worse case scenario just create a transaction and send the coins to your new wallet and avoid transferring the dat files.
