Hi alanm and wellcome.

Yes, you can download BOINC to your new pc and attach to Seti on it, but you can't transfer your current WU's to it. In your BOINC manager in the Projects tab, click on Seti and click on the "No new work" button. Finish your current WU's, upload them and click on the "Update" button, so they are reported. Then you can uninstall BOINC on your old pc or just click on the "Suspend" or "Detach" buttons, if you don't want to crunch on it anymore.
