Depends what you mean by saved, Calibre has a built-in tool for a while now(3 years I think) to export all data(library, settings and plugins) so if you are using that all you have to do is export, copy the folder to new laptop, install calibre and select folder on import.
If that is not what you mean then you need to have copied both the Calibre folder in %APPDATA% (Just copy it into explorer or run, it is an easy way to go directly to Users\insertusername\AppData\Roaming ) and your library, the first goes to the same place in the new laptop and you can have the latter wherever you want though if it is not the same path then you will need to point Calibre to it as library.
It should be noted while I never had problems with the second method the Calibre FAQ makes a point of commenting that while it should work it is not officially supported, so if you still have access to the laptop you were using you should use the first one.
