Migrating data from Google Chrome Linux to Windows

Following the scenario of moving Linux user to a Windows 10 user
Here is what to do:

On the Linux machine:

Go to the user's path ~/.config/chromium/ and zip all folders inside
copy that zip file to the windows machine

On the windows machine:

Unpack the zip content inside the Windows user's path
usually C:\Users\~\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\
This will restore the Chrome bookmarks, cache, settings except for the passwords that are stored via the Google account.
