A bit more info from the wiki you might want to read...

Q: I just got a new computer. What should I copy over from my old one?

A: You need to copy the same files that you'd backup, so see Backup<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Backup>.

  *   If your new computer runs a different operating system from the old one the configuration locations will be different, see Configuration Locations<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations>.
  *   If you're upgrading to GnuCash 3.x from an older version at the same time as the upgrade, copy the configuration files to the older version location and let GnuCash move them to the new locations.

Have you tried File >> Open.  Check the wiki there's other files apart from your data file that you might want to copy over.

Hi,

I'm trying to transfer my gnucash accounts from my Windows 7 computer to my new Windows 10 computer. I have copied all of the files from the old computer to the new computer and have installed gnucash on the new computer but can't see how to import the files from the old computer into gnucash.

Can anyone help please?

Thank you,
Jackie
