Upgrading from 18.1 to 18.7 and moving to new computer

Is it possible to install 18.7 on a new machine while also bringing my settings from 18.1 from my old machine? I'd really like to avoid taking dozens for screenshots and hand typing everything in or breaking anything!
Background, old install on a ancient 32bit Asus laptop. New install will be on a HP thin client. Hardware is updated and ready to go. But, I'm a relative noob to opnsense and my old install was setup a little at a time with lots of googling. I'm trying to avoid repeating all that googling!

Yes, this is easy ;-)
System, configuration, backups. Download while connected to the old firewall web interface, then restore on the new one.

I was hoping it was that easy! Just worried that with new features / layout and totally different hardware, that it wouldn't work.
I'll give it a try!

Just a quick update in case anyone else has the same question. It worked well. Just a small hiccough. Just had to reinstall the plugins, like suricata, that don't come pre-installed. Once I did that, they found my previous configuration and started right up.
Thanks again for a great project!
