You also need to get your uploaded images from the old one. I don't know where your
images directory is on Ubuntu. Any configuration changes or extensions added will also
need to be copied.

You only need to move the database contents. The MW code is essentially
the same.
1 - Backup the database.
2 - Install a fresh version of MW on the Windows platform. Make sure
you use the same DB prefix as was on the Ubuntu platform.
3 - Restore the DB to the Windows platform. This will overwrite the
newly installed DB.
4 - If the Windows MW version is newer than the Ubuntu version, run the
update.php script (info is in the UPGRADE file in the wiki's root).
That should be it.
