[GNC] Trying to convert using GNU_CASH from Windows OS to new MacPro M5OS

[CJN.... ...]

22 January 2026

Hi Guys

I’m struggling. Another dumbo in cyberspace!

I’ve been happily and successfully been using GNU0-CASH since about September 2022, on Windows10 OS.
My booking keeping in post retirement is basic - Income (Sources & Amounts, by date) & Expenses. 

My Windows 10 Laptop is antique now, so acting on advice of all the “expert” IT friends, I updated to latest MacPro M5.

I had thought from reading GNU-Cash help manual that the transfer would be easy - using the Wizard to copy Account Tree, Transactions, & Active Register, using CSV data.

But when I copied these as CSV to the Mac, and opened on the New Mac to check what was showing, then noticed only partial data transferred, seemingly primarily from year 2024/25, not older or latest data.

So, I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong? -In my attempts to move all records since start with GNU in Sept 2024, untilmnnow Jan 2026.

Can anyone enlighten me , to get GNU-Cash running with all my historical data , under the Mac OS one the new machine?

Thanks
