4. Install OOTP 17 on your new laptop and activate the license.
5. Copy the league file to the saved games folder for OOTP17.
6. Test the league by calling it up and saving it again.
7. Install OOTP 18 on your new laptop and activate its license.
8. Use the "Import OOTP 17 Game" feature in OOTP 18.

Why bother with step 4? He doesn't need OOTP17 on the new machine, just the .lg folder. He can place it anywhere on the new machine, install OOTP, select import 17 lg, navigate to the .lg folder and import.
