You can just copy the pcf-file to the new PC. Default location is C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\Profiles.

Please note that there is no official support for Windows 10 with the classic VPN Client but it may work. For some installations it works on Win 10, others doesn't. And since the software is EoL you really should consider moving to AnyConnect.

Dear S-Lemming

Thank you very much for support.

Yes, I'm trying to use this .pcf by AnyConnect, but without effect.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong or there is a way to convert it somehow?

Thanks in advance!

The pcf will not work with AnyConnect as it uses a different architecture, also AnyConnect uses SSL instead of IPsec for encryption. There is no way to convert the pcf for AnyConnect, you will need to configure your VPN server to use AnyConnect.

How to do this may vary depending on your hardware and configuration.

I thought as much. Thanks a lot for your support.
