Here is a bit of a left field answer: Why not try PCLinuxOS? You can download a copy & install it on a bootable USB stick (or similar). Once booted, you can load GnuCash from the repository & try it. The current version in the repository is 5.10. Then if the W10 Gnucash file is readable, you could consider becoming part of the PCLinuxOS family! PCLinuxOS is a rolling release, so no need to completely reload very often. I am no accountant, but have been using Gnucash & PCLinuxos for a LOOOOONG time (15 Yrs +?) Love both. PCLinuxOS is well supported too: Monthly mag, VERY helpful forum, & very experienced developers.
