This should help you
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#GnuCash_Files_and_managing_a_GnuCash_installation

Once you have copied the accounts file across to an appropriate folder
on the new machine then you just need to use File > Open to open it.
If you have saved reports then you have to transfer a bit more, see
the FAQ.
