You should be able to copy the entire former folder over to W10. Before you do, rename the new Gpg4win folder on W10 to something else so you can get back if something goes wrong.
But you need to understand something. Microsoft WILL take a copy of your keys and keep them. This is what W10 is all about. Grabbing everyone's data and storing it on their disk. A court order is all there is between your keys and the government.

Actually, MS may cooperate completely with the authorities without a court order.

I'll just move all of the current data, on the Win10 box, elsewhere
and then copy the old data from the Vista box into the
C:/Users/.../AppData/Roaming/gnupg folder on the Win10 box.
As for M$ copying my keys, is there any proof that they're doing
that, or is this another conspiracy thing? I know that I can be
paranoid, but I also try to be rational about it.

Riiight. M$ is going to look specifically for GPG keys and
steal them.
Here's the tool to see what M$ is uploading.

sure as hell can't trust a tool, authored by Microsoft, to tell you,

The only way any sort of credibility could be obtained would be some
sort of source audit by an independent, and accredited, 3rd party.

However, option settings might be different between versions of GPG and
also between versions of PGP and are likely not portable between GPG and
