This is not really a "program which can be used by a non-programmer" 
issue. It is more a issue about "computer used by a non-programmer" 
issue (a special case of a more general problem). Computer users who do 
not have a "support person" have to learn how to do SOME basic tasks for 
themselves.

How do you move ANY data between devices, between computers or from 
computer to backup device and how to restore from backup? Do you see why 
your question "how do I move gnucash data?" is just a special case of 
this more general problem << how do I move data from my old computer to 
a back-up device, USB stick or external drive  or network place,  and 
how do I "restore" this data to my computer, in this case the new one.

If you don't know how to make backups of your data and restore from 
backup and you don't have a "support person" to do tasks like this for 
you, then you as a computer user have to learn how to do this basic 
(absolutely necessary) thing for yourself.  If you do not have back-ups, 
it is not a question of whether you will lose your data but when you 
will lose your data. Not just your gnucash data but ALL of your data.
