[GNC] Migrating and updating version 2 to 4

I'm running GnuCash 2.6.21 on a Windows 7 computer. I need to migrate the
system to a Windows 10 computer. Just need to be sure I understand any
complications I may encounter. Some questions.

1. Will I have any problems updating to version 4?
2. Reading about version 4 on the GnuCash website, I think the only thing
we won't be able to migrate will be the saved customized reports and
preferences. Is that correct?
3. Am I reading the manual correctly that all we need to migrate our data
is to copy the current data file to the location where version 4 keeps
these files. Is that still Documents/GunCash?
4. As in the past, will version 4 update the data file automatically?

Probably obvious answers, just that we update once in a blue moon. Hope I
haven't overlooked any protocols for this group.

Thanks so much for the help,
Roger
