Just copy your profile. It's only a bunch of files.

In Thunderbird on Windows 7, Help|Troubleshooting Information will help you find your current profile. Close Thunderbird. Copy your entire profile folder to a USB stick or similar.

In Windows 10, install Thunderbird. Use Help|Troubleshooting Information again to locate the new profile then close Thunderbird and overwrite the new empty profile with the one on your USB stick.
