Glad it helped.  You can copy over at least your prefs
(/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/books - I'm on a Mac so it'll be a
different path on Windows) and saved reports (saved-reports-2.8) but the
backup section in the wiki should cover all this off.  I think there's also
a File Locations section you might want to check for which covers where the
files are installed for each OS.

Cheers David.
