move thunderbird from windows 7 to 10
I need step by step instruction on how to move my thunder bird files and folders from my old windows 7 computer to the new windows 10 computer
I read through https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer#w_windows-easy-transfer-wizard but it was a bit confusing
thank you

Was there any particular part of that article that gave you trouble?

I am moving from wins 7 to windows 10... the article really does not cover that
it talks about east transfer which is no more, moving from windows to mac, and gmail..
I wrote the article when windows 7 was new. It is dated now and the easy transfer wizard simply does not exist in Windows 10.
To quote the part of the article that applies to you.
Manually moving files If you are moving from one operating system to another (such as changing from Windows to Mac), you must manually move your profile from one computer to the next. You'll need to first back up your profile using the instructions on the Profiles page, then follow the directions on that page for "Restoring to a different location."
