Have TBird 78.5, but when following video, it shows version 52(?) When I get to "open folder," it shows going to a "roaming" folder, but when I open that folder in 78.5, no roaming folder appears. Not sure where to go from there. Can I copy the entire info in the profile folder and move that to the new computer? Thanks!

roaming is hidden by windows as are significant protions of it's use of your system storage.

In the file manger in the line where it shows what folders you are currently navigated to, click on it, type %appdata% and press enter and suddenly windows will be able to find a roaming folder there.

or Change the settings in Windows https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-10-97fbc472-c603-9d90-91d0-1166d1d9f4b5
