New PC - what do files do I need to transfer

I don't use voiceattack so I can't help you there.
As far as transferring ED to the new PC, if you're on Steam, back up the following folder to an external drive:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\COMMON\*.*
Once the new PC is set up, download and install Steam. Once established, open it but then close it, i.e., say "hello" to establish yourself. Don't let it notice you have games you own but "I see they're not there - here: let me download gigs of stuff to you." Shut Steam completely off.
Copy your backed up "common" folder to the correct location. Fire up Steam again. Click "play" on each and every game. There WILL be a few files to download again but instead of taking hours, it'll just be a minute or two. Once they're all back together, go play. Enjoy.

Moved country and did the same thing a little back. Had the following checklist.
If Win 10 to Win 10 - Take a copy of your trained windows speech profile (You can export the profile) THat way you don't have to retrain the new PC
Back up your voice attack profile.
Back up your key bindings, and the graphicsoveride.xml (if you have a custom colour)
I have the game installed through Oculus home, I don't think the locations are the same for you. A quick search online suggests this location %localappdata%\frontier developments\elite dangerous\options\bindings
Manually save your voice attack profile to wherever you want. The windows speech profile can be extracted using this microsoft tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=22358
