The file is called saved-reports-2.x where 'x' depends on your gnucash version 
as does its location. For 2.6.17 the filename will be saved-reports-2.4 and it 
will be stored in DOT_GNUCASH_DIR as described for your OS (which you haven't 
provided yet) under
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#DOT_GNUCASH_DIR

For GnuCash 3.0 and up the file will be in 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_DATA_HOME for your 
OS. GnuCash will look for a file named saved-reports-2.8 first in there and if 
missing it will try to open saved-reports-2.4 in the same directory.

As for updates, if you update gnucash from 2.6.x to 3.x it will copy these 
saved reports from the old location to the new one for you, but only if the 
new location didn't exist yet! So if you ran tests on your new PC with only 
3.x and then install 2.6.x on that system, the migration will not run again 
after upgrading to 3.x. If you want to force the migration, you should move 
the https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GNC_DATA_HOME
directory aside before running gnucash 3.x.

Geert
