Make a copy of your existing build 19 then install and remove build 21 as 
Omega suggested on your new computer, then install your old computer build 
19,this will transfer all your addons,symbols etc. then reinstall build 21 
over build19 and this way you can upgrade to 21 a leaving everything you 
need from your previous build underneath with out running the risk of 
forgetting something such as a system, indicator, etc.

Alex,

I don't know about what you would need to copy, and not copy, from the 
Omega
directory, but don't forget to copy omega.ini and tstation.ini from the
Windows directory.  Good Luck!
