@DUS10,  
For this, Syncing is definitely your best option — especially if you’re moving between two different OSs. And yes you are correct:

1. Install Brave on a Windows machine
2. Replace `User data` folder in new installation with the one on your USB
3. Ensure that all your data is still there
4. Setup a Sync chain between the windows machine and your mac
5. Ensure the `Sync everything` option is selected
