Looking at the image posted by Thomas it is clear that none of those
is your accounts file as they are all too small, so what those are I
have no idea.

Go back to your original computer and find the accounts file, which
will be called something like accounts.gnucash, it will actually have
the name you gave it when you first saved it.  It will be in the same
folder as all the backup files (with the long timestamp numbers on the
end similar to the one you have posted) and log files.

When you have found that put it on your new computer, possibly in a
folder called accounts in your Documents folder, and then open gnucash
and click File > Open and browse to that file.
