Okay I've successfully imported my xenforo database.
I am now at this step:
Install XenForo
Download the XenForo software and unzip it
Create the C:\xampp\htdocs\community directory
If my site is at the root, can't I just put a backup of my xenforo installation in the htdocs folder since I have it in the root and not a community directory? Then all I would need to do is change the config.php file in Library?

XenForo 1.1.2 - Errors
The following errors occurred while verifying that your server can run XenForo:
The directory C:\xampplite\htdocs\community/data must be writable. Please change the permissions on this directory to be world writable (chmod 0777). If the directory does not exist, please create it.
The directory C:\xampplite\htdocs\community/internal_data must be writable. Please change the permissions on this directory to be world writable (chmod 0777). If the directory does not exist, please create it.
It was taking forever to extract my forum installation due to this bug. Sitemap for XenForo. It's done extracting now though so I'm about to activate it now.
Finally got this working. I had to put my site in a subdirectory though because you can't install the forum as a root due to the index.php file being the one used for xamp control panel.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 174721355 bytes) in D:\xampp\phpMyAdmin\libraries\zip_extension.lib.php on line 60
This Xampp stuff completely changed how I run my site. I wish I used it from the very beginning. I've learned a lot in the past couple of days.
Anyway, xampp wouldn't let me into my admin panel for phpadmin so I uninstalled it, tried installing zend and it got stuck when trying to install mysql so I uninstalled that and am now installing the latest version of xampp.
