Purchased a new PC with Windows 8. Migrated the iTunes library and associated music from the older computer to the new. How do I sync up my iTunes library to the new location of the music saved to the computer?
Hello Midori55,
Take a look at this article named iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one found http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589 to direct iTunes to open the library you copied over.
I would also change the location of the library in the iTunes preferences
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
- Open iTunes.
- From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
- Click the Advanced button in the Preferences window.
- Click the Change button in the iTunes Media folder location pane.
- In the Change Media Folder Location window that appears, navigate to the location where you would like your new iTunes Media folder to be created.
Note: By default, your iTunes Media folder is a folder named "iTunes Media" in ~/Music/iTunes/ where the tilde "~" represents your home directory.
Cheers,
Sterling

How did you do this?
All you need to do is copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
Then when you open iTunes on teh new computer, it will be identical to iTunes on the old computer.
