Foxmarks was renamed to Xmarks 4 or 5 years ago.

You mentioned foxmarks. 

 "how do i setup foxmarks in the new windows pc ... ?"

You need to add that "device" to your existing Sync account.

Select what you want to do in the bottom part of the Sync Options dialog. Replace all data on this device with my Sync data.
