Transferring save files for Stardew Valley to a new computer

Question

I have a Steam account I have used for many years on a desktop gaming computer.  My wife started playing Stardew Valley on my account and she's hooked, so now I want to set her up with her own Steam account on a new gaming laptop, so that she and I can each play different games at the same time.  Is there any way to transfer her saved games to a new computer?  We can enable Family Sharing for her new account.  Thank you in advance.

According to the Stardew Valley wiki page, save files are stored at %appdata%StardewValleySaves. So, here's a step by step tutorial.

Press Windows+R
Type in %appdata%StardewValleySaves and hit Enter
Find the save your wife uses, it'll look like CharacterName_123456789
Right click it
Go down to Send to...
Select Compressed (zipped) folder
Move the created .zip onto a portable USB
Unzip the folder on the new computer
Move the save back into %appdata%StardewValleySaves.
