[Bram Mertens]

Michael,

Please check the FAQ: starting at
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_backup_my_data.3F.

If that doesn't answer your question please provide more information.
What OS are you using (both on the old and the new machine)?
What have you tried so far? What errors if anything do you get?

HTH
