How does one transfer address book entries from an old computer to a new one? On November 9, David from TB suggested that I go to abook.sqlite and then import to the new computer with tools>import>import from a file. I may not have understood David's instructions as all I get when I do this is correspondence between others who have had the same problem and TB support. I have tried everything, but have no computer compatibility. I suppose I need information on how 1) to place the old address book into a file on the old computer, and then, 2) to transfer that file to TB on the new computer without previous correspondence between TB users and support.

P.S. I have Windows 10 and 64 gb.

I don't understand. When you import the addressbook, you state you get correspondence between others? The addressbook only has email addresses, not correspondence. Please clarify and I'll try to assist.
