Copy the c:\(yourname)\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder - all of it and store in same location on new PC. That will normally be all that is required. The profile is a folder within that folder, but you need it all.

Can you post a screenshot from file explorer of that folder? If the folder can be located, all will be well.
