Hi Maf (bit of confusion - you are now answering my earlier query - same issue).
Let me tell you exactly what I have done: * On the old PC (Windows 10, but GnuCash 2.4.10 was installed under Windows 8) I copied everything in Program Files (x86) onto a USB stick. * On the new PC (Windows 10), I downloaded GnuCash 2.6.16. * I then copied all files from the USB stick to the same location on the new PC, replacing any of the same name. * I then opened GnuCash. I don’t know how to access my data (assuming it has been transferred – I could well have done something untoward). The accounts do not appear as before and in ‘Open File’ I have the whole machine to choose from, which is not much help. Any ideas? Thanks - Edwin -----Original Message----- From: Maf.

File -> Save As will give you a pointer to the correct path to find your data file. In fact, while you are in File -> Save As... you might as well just save to a USB stick and save some clicking... Or if you have already copied your ~ to the new PC, just navigate to the same path on the new PC and see what is there. HTH, Maf.
