Just yesterday I had to install windows on another partition due to problems with the one where BOINC and all my project data were.
I want to move all the currents tasks I had to the new windows, Can I just copy paste the \\Program Data\Boinc folder to the new location?

Yes.

But move the data directory first, then install BOINC. This way you make sure that all permissions on the data directory are correctly set.
