I'm assuming that you mean from one computer to a new one? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-thunderbird-profiles
Thank you for the answer. I think I am on my way.
Here is the link for moving a profile in Windows when installed in default location:

here is the info in brief steps:
- ensure thunderbird is not running on old machine
- enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
- this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
- highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media
- ensure thunderbird is installed on second computer and NOT running
- enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
- you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there. This may prompt to overwrite an existing folder of same name. allow it
- start thunderbird and all should be there
