James,
The upgrade process is outlined here:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Using_Different_Versions.2C_Up_And_Downgrade
You'll want to first upgrade to a 2.6 release, likely 2.6.21 as it was
the last 2.6 version and can read 3.0 files in case you have to step back.
After the upgrade, open your file, run Actions > Check & Repair > Check
& Repair All, make sure everything looks okay, then save the file and
proceed to 3.11. (the last 3.x release) Rinse & repeat for 4.1. (current)
There have been loads of changes and improvements since 2.4. The basics
should still be the same, but you will have some adjustments to make.
Regards,
Adrien

I need to do exactly the same thing. Version 2.4.x to Version 4; once
there is stability and a well worn pathway. The last (3) years of data,
has not been entered, due to illness, but please document your efforts,
as I'm sure there are many more that need to migrate from version 2.x to
version 4.?
I use this book: "Gnucash 2.4 Small Business Accounting"
"Beginner's Guide" and it has work flawlessly.
Being older, a well worn pathway, is a most wonderful companion.
Particularly for this old EE. Much of basic accounting (double entry,
etc etc) is still like traversing the unknown, for me. You efforts and
any sort of guide, documents, etc, is most appreciated.
