    You found them, cool. I thought you may have to install them since the Migration tools are an option during installation. I hope it goes real smoothly for you.

    Quick and dirty

    1 export out your profile
    2 make a copy of your cui its buried in document& settings\userid\autodesk\en etc
    3 copy these two files to your new computer somewhere easy, win7 say \users
    4 start autocad using default profile and import your profile set current exit autocad your profile should have the main cutomization menu path set to the same location as step 3
    5 make a copy of your desktop icon back to the desktop and click properties in the command line change the /p "toyourprofilename"
    6 start autocad all should work !

    If I'm not mistaken, there will need to be a lot of manual repathing when importing a profile to Win7 that was exported from a WinXP machine because the directory structure is different.

    Nestly we use a server for most of our stuff so no local pathing, the other trick is we have a lsp for setting all paths etc we have 1 operator with a laptop so copied the lisp and made a couple of changes this set up his ARG which we save seperately to the normal one. As above we set our local paths high up in directories. I have posted before the setpaths.lsp will try to find this includes pointing to the correct cui location. We imported the 2012 ARG no problems. Ps the ARG is a text file so could edit that using search & replace.
