Appreciate your help
How are you planning on moving ALL of your user data to the new machine?
Is the new machine under the same OS as the old one?
In the simplest situation, same OS, and you choose to use the same user
name. The the directory (file folder) for your user name would be the
same as on the old machine. You might simply connect an external USB
drive and copy that directory to it. Then take that USB drive to the new
machine and (after having created your user log in) copy from the USB
drive to replace the user name directory. Then ALL your user data has
been copied over (into the same path). Among that user data would be
your gnucash data.
NOW --- if not the same OS or if for some reason you insist on calling
yourself something different on the new machine, ask what you have to do
differently.
