You cannot copy indexes from one location to the other. They have to be built at the new location.
You can script out all your indexes in the old database, and take them over to the new one.
Right click on the database and under tasks, choose Generate Scripts. Mark the checkbox for
all objectsand then in the options, choose to script indexes. Run this script on the new database (it will take a while depending on the size of the tables.
