Dick, All that is necessary is to copy the <filename>.gnucash file from that directory to the new computer (usb stick is probably easiest) where <filename> is the name you originally gave your Gnucash file. This is the only file that it is necessary to copy to transfer to your new machine
You will find a lot of files of the form <filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.gnucash and <filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.log in the directory. These are backup and log files and are created each time you open GnuCash. They are useful if the primary file above becomes corrupted as you can restore from a backup file by applying the subsequent logfiles. You can copy these over as well if you wish. It is probably a good idea to keep a few of the most recent of each file type. Once you have copied the file into an appropriate directory in the \Users on the new machine , if you start GnuCash and then File->Open from the menu and then direct it to and open the <filename>.gnucash file you copied you will be up and running. Next time it should open that file by default.
