You are not the first to ask this question. The answer is in the FAQ:
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_just_got_a_new_computer._What_should_I_copy_over_from_my_old_one.3F>
Just to be clear: this is for moving your accounting info from one
computer, to another computer, and using it only on the other computer
going forward. If what you really want to do is to use the accounting
info on either computer interchangeably, then read the
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Multiple_Computers.2C_Users.2C_...>
section of the FAQ.
…and should i expect any problems?
The cynic in me says that you should always expect problems. That way,
if none occur, you will be disappointed to be wrong, but joyful to have
no problems.
But my impression from my own moves of accounting info, and from
listening to the questions on this list, is that people move their
accounting info between computers all the time. If one follows the
instructions, and copies over all the parts of GnuCash data, then it
works just fine.
