I tried to transfer the Profile of Thunderbird Version 115 from my Windows 10 PC to a new Windows 11 PC. I followed the steps posted at the website ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer ) I got to Step 5 for the new / destination computer 5. Locate the "Profile Folder" entry, but when I clicked Open Folder. Windows could not find the Thunderbird profile folder How do I bring my Thunderbird profile to the current version of Thunderbird? Thank you

Did you download from the Microsoft store?

No, I downloaded from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/ Is this the same version at the Microsoft store? Which source would you advise?

Do I need to do a minimal install and then import the old profile?
