In you compress the individual files into a *.ZIP file, the *.ZIP file
becomes read only but the files inside do not. You can group select all of
the files you want to compress and compress in one step.
With the procedure you are using now, you can copy all of the files to a
working folder on the second computer. Then go to that folder in Windows
Explorer and Edit, Select All to select all of the files. Right click on
the group selections and use Properties to clear the Read Only attribute for
all the files at once. You can then move them as a group to the proper
folder.
