localmodconfig is a bit tricky, as it only build support for hardware which is currently used. You will end up with unsupported hardware (usb sound-card, printer, etc.). Also, for example Intel microcode loading needs to be enabled by hand, as the driver is already unloaded when you've logged-in.

When you use make oldconfig, there is no sense in copy a config to the
source tree.
make oldconfig use the current loaded kernel config and overwrite the
.config you've put in the kernel tree.
So just run make oldconfig, without copy anything to the kernel-tree
will lead to the same results.
