There is a section in the GnuCash FAQ about what files are where for the various OS's. IIRC there is a .gnucash directory under ~user or some such which can be copied and pasted into another machine, even under a different OS but that would overwrite whatever is there. Do not try that without backing up whatever is already there. For Windows it might get more complicated, as some stuff is now in the Registry.
