Maingear Laptop bluescreened, purchased new MicroSoft Surface Pro, not able to find Thunderbird data folder
My Maingear laptop bluescreens, I can boot via USB stick and have been able to copy off the files from c:\Users\(account name)\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird.
I purchased a new Microsoft Surface Pro and installed Thunderbird, but I can not find this same data folder. I can make the troubleshooting information from the Surface Pro if that would be helpful.

I have configured one of my email profiles, and I did the troubleshooting steps as indicated. I get the following;
