Under Windows XP all users configuration may be kept separately.
Changes are that your program reside under:
\Program Files\Opera
And your user configuration/data reside under:
\Documents and Settings\<username_here>\Application Data\Opera

That was thru with Opera 9.23. Now with Opera 9.51
user configuration/data reside both under:
\Documents and Settings\<username_here>\Application Data\Opera
and
\Documents and Settings\<username_here>\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera

File copying over their right specific location may be just fine.

But when time comes to migration. 
What I do is to start a brand new initialization. 
Then I import relevant old data through Opera's menu: File > Import
for bookmarks + mails(generic mailbox) + contacts

And every things is well initialize under the new version setups.
