Help with moving PyCharm from one PC to another.
I have an older Windows 10 PC wih Pycharm Edu several projects created with virtual environments with python3.8.
For my new Windows 10 PC, I was planning to install PyCharm Community. (I plan don't see an Edu version available any longer.)
Should I just create new virtual environments on the new PC for each project and manually copy the files over and add library components as needed? Is there a documented tried and true method?

The Edu version is available at https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-edu/ if you need it.
Community can be downloaded from https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/
The project files can be copied to the new PC, but venvs need to be created from scratch. You can build a list of dependencies and install them in the new venv using a requirements.txt file. More info here: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#requirements-files
