SE did create a feature recently to copy settings from one character to another. But doin it the way you did is how I've always done it.

Doesn't matter, easy to adjust. Game will update on game reboot if needed, and you can adjust resolution and gfx settings to max easily.

Copying the system files outside of the CHAR_ folders is necessary if you want to port over character appearance so you can load it when making a character or with a fantasia. As I mentioned, they are .dat files.
