Is it possible to move the complete ROR install/development directory or directories to new PC and continue to work/dev as the original one? Are there any registry entries that would preclude this working on the new PC?
Thanks!

Yes, assuming you are talking about the rails application itself. You will also have to install the development environment (ruby, rails, gems and so on) in the same way you initially installed those on your original PC, which depends on your Operating System of course. Just install and setup the development environment and copy the installation directories across. Though since you should have your source controlled in a Source Control System (git is my favourite) then you should extract it from there rather than by copying the directories.

That will be handled by the install/setup of the development environment. If you are using mysgl or postgreSQL you may need to configure that also.
