Migrate from TBird 115.18 (32 bit) to latest TBird 64-bit
How can I migrate from the 32-bit TBird to a later 64-bit version. I have thousands of emails stored in numerous local folders and I would like to retain these files after any migration to the 64-bit Thunderbird. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

These steps should work. 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
