Note that this article does not mention the subfolders.
Ableton Folder Info folders with XMP files are also present inside subfolders in the User Library.

What folders did you copy?

If you copied the whole User Library you should have all the contents off all collections from the other computer.
Maybe indexing must finish before you see anything. You must of course have everything in the collections also present on the other computer, otherwise it will not show up.

The names of the collections are stored in the file Library.cfg which is located in the preferences folder. You can copy this file over or choose to manually rename the collections.
This article explains how to copy preference files from one to another installation.
