Let's only treat one question per thread :-)

Moving your redmine instance has, technically, not much to do with redmine itself.
First thing to do is get redmine on your Linux system, there are many guides here on how to do that.

You then backup your database. The procedure depends on what database management system you use (MySQL, postgres, MSSQL, sqlite), google that one.

Then you move the created backup file to your Linux box and import it into the database.
Restart your new redmine instance and tell us if it's running OK.

You should copy the content of REDMINE/files, too. Otherwise uploaded files won't be available in the new redmine instance.

do you mean that i need to copy the content of redmine folder from windows to redmine on linux Macro??

Not the whole redmine folder, only the content of the subfolder named files.
