Step 1. Open Opera on the new PC and sign in with your account and password. 

Step 2. Click on "Synchronize" and wait for the process to finish.

After this, you can use Opera with synced bookmarks on your new computer again.

Note: By doing so, even if you sign out of Opera, the synced data will stay with Opera on your new device.

If you don't want to create an account to sync, here is another possible way that you may try. 

Note: This option may not work at all. It's a try option. If you prefer a more practical workout, follow Option 1 for help.

It is to manually copy the whole Opera bookmarks folder to an external storage device and save it to the corresponding location on the new PC:
