  If you are migrating to a new computer you will want to:

1) Install all the applications you are used to using.

2) Migrate over all of your data.

If the data paths to the data will be different, in each case you will 
have to find the data on the new computer. But the point I am making is 
that migrating gnucash (program and data) is likely only a tiny subset 
of the programs and data you will be migrating.

IF the new computer is under the same OS as the old one, only a little 
care will be needed to have the data paths be the same and all data will 
be found where expected. But when not, it may be impossible to have the 
same path.
