[GNC] Newbie

[Joseph St. Denis]

I have a Microsoft OneDrive account and share my Gnucash files between my laptop and a Desktop. Once you setup the shared document files a one time process the files automatically go from my laptop to the OneDrive it takes a bit of time to get it the files to transfer since the process sync is done after you close Gnucash. I have the same problem with Outlook too since my file system has multiple email accounts and each year is a separate account. So you have to close the program do something else while the files are syncing there's a cloud icon on my task bar with a circle it goes green when it's completed and is Greyed out when processing. I then to read the news or check Updates and scan the computer for viruses while waiting.

There are software applications that will supposedly do this type of transfer. I used one onetime and the results were less than spectacular. I would not recommend that route.

The folder structure on Win10 and Win11 are the same.

Unless you changed it, documents are stored by default in the "Documents" folder which would be located at C:\Users\"your username"\Documents. You could copy all the files from that folder to a thumb drive or other external storage device. Connect the storage device to your new pc and copy the files from the storage device to the C:\Users\"your username"\Documents folder on your new pc.

If you have a Microsoft account and use OneDrive the folder locations are different and instead of:
        C:\Users\"your username"\Documents it would be at:
        C:\Users\"your username"\OneDrive\Documents

You can do some online research. I'm sure you will find more information on how to make the data transfer.
