    Welcome to Apple Support Communities

     

    No. That would only be valid for content purchased in the iTunes Store, because you can redownload purchased content onto a different computer for free, and it is also valid if you are using iTunes Match, but note that settings, device backups... will not be transferred. Moreover, if you have got an iPhone, iPod or iPad, you will be asked to erase it before being able to use it with your new PC.

     

    Instead of doing that, I recommend you to transfer the whole iTunes library to your new PC by following these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751 Finally, do the "Restoring your iTunes Library backup" on your new PC.
