We have an asp.net mvc web application deployed under IIS7 on Windows Server 2008 R2. Now we need to move the web application to another server, which has IIS8 on Windows Server 2012.
Currently the asp.net mvc is deployed inside the defualt web application, and all the web application's folders and files can be found in this location :-
C:inetpubwwwroot
If i simply copy all the files and folder from the C:inetpubwwwroot and add them inside the same location on the new server, will it work?

It is unlikely to "Just work" but it is possible.
Often there will be settings, frameworks and user/folder permissions that cannot be transferred and will need to be set up manually on the new server.
Best advice is to pull everything over and try it, but make a Database backup first, just in-case.
If it doesnt work (which is likely) view error logs and browser errors to find the route causes (EG setting the correct .NET framework etc)
Also IIS7 and 8 deal with application pool identities slightly differently.
