Laptop died, but have the HDD with all the data. Want to get the Thunderbird data, mail, contacts, account settings etc.. off it , and copy/migrate to new Thunderbird installation on new Win 10 laptop. Where are all the data files I need? Can I just copy into the appropriate folder or do i need to import or migrate? How?

You just copy the appropriate folders. They are known as your profile.
