If it were me I would:

On the Linux box you would use mysqldump to drop the db to a file. Open a command prompt and

mysqldump -u [username] –p[password] [database_name] > [dump_file.sql]

The parameters of the said command as follows:

[username] - the databases MySQL username.

[password] - the MySQL password for the user.

[database_name] - the Database name you want to take backup.

[dump_file.sql] - The name of backup dump file you want to generate. I usually use databasename_YYYYMMDD.sql.

On the windows server install MYSQL Workbench (from mysql). Transfer the .sql file you created from the Linux box to the Windows box. Launch MySQL Workbench, connect to the MySQL instance, and then click import. Select the file. (see MySQL workbench documentation or Google for more information.)

    ntozier Hi Thanks for the support and as per your instructions I have imported MySQL database from Linux machine to Windows Machine and now I have copied OSTicketing php code folder in my Windows Server machine but now while am opening a login.php page am getting this error i.e.:

    failed to connect to mailserver at localhost port 25 verify your smtp and smtp_port setting in php.ini or use ini_set()

    Please help me on this. Thanks in Advance.

      You appear to have your email configured to use localhost to send emails.
      You would need to update your email config to use a mail server.

        @ntozier#116048 I think so, Can you please guide me to configure mail server.

        Go to: Admin panel -> Emails -> Emails
        Click on the email you want to configure.
        Enter the settings for your mail sever.
        Click Save Changes button.

          ntozier I think so, Can you please help me about this more. As am not able to do this mail server configuration. Also wanted to know where to change is mail server setting on OST php code or in Windows server which am using to configure OST.

          moderator note (ntozier): post edited to remove bad formatting.

              ntozier I cannot do this as the OST application is not opening due to this error am getting this error on my login screen

                You mention an error, but have not provided us with what it is.

                ashutoshthakur3 Also wanted to know where to change is mail server setting on OST php code or in Windows server

                To configure mail at the PHP level you would look at your PHP.ini for the section mail settings.

                It is usually labelled [mail function]
                The directives are SMTP, smtp_port,sendmail_from, and mail.add_x_header in the default php.ini that comes with PHP.

                    ntozier Hi Please find below screenshot even after setup of mail server on my windows server am still getting this error message on my login screen. Request you to please help me on this and tell me how to know the actual error behind this and resolve this.

                    Am not able to trace this error as there is no PHP Error Log generated for this.

                      There has to be an error some where.
                      If you do not see anything in the PHP error log, then check your webserver and mysql error logs
