Yet another newb starting to bot question

I have searched the forums for my questions and haven't been able to find the answers. A little summary, I took advantage of the "Black Friday" 2010 sale at Best Buy and purchased a few Battle Chests and WotLK copies. I now have access to a computer completely unconnected to my personal one, and I'd like to set up a bot on it. My questions are; Will I need to use one of the bought copies to install onto the secondary computer or can i transfer my own full Cata WoW to it (using an external hard drive) and just create a battle-net account using just the WotLK keys? I'd like to keep these accounts unconnected for the time being and am unsure if the copy would bring a connection.

 

I just copy and paste my folders personally.

 

you can copy and paste, but make sure you clear wtf wdb folders (it has your other accts in it)

 

Thanks for the quick and clear responses.

 

Great information to know for me as well. Perhaps I'll do this once a new computer comes into my household.
