Just don't enable "LyX's users preferences" when uninstalling the old LyX,
that way your user folder will not be deleted. Then install the new LyX and
your modules should still be there.

 Actually, since it is still LyX2.3, there is no need to copy anything. It
should work out of the box if the preferences are not chosen to be deleted
when uninstalling old LyX. The installer does not delete anything in
AppData, if it gets deleted then only by the uninstaller.
