Transferring Chartbooks and Studies from one Computer to Another

I installed a new copy of Sierra on a new computer and I copied all my data files (chartbooks, studies, etc) from the previous computer. I can see the names of my chartbooks and studies, however, the Chartbooks do not open and instead show up in the Message Log as "The Chartbook file is not a valid Chartbook File...."

As for my studies: while they appear under my Analysis menu window, when I select a study it does not populate at all even though the study appears with a check mark after I select it as if it were showing as the current study file open.

Please let me know if there is anything I need to do to get my chartbooks and studies opened. Thanks for your attention.

I was having trouble with my computer so I bought a new one and was in the process of transferring everything to the new computer when the old one died.
I assume I'll have to re-create all my chartbooks and settings from recollection, but I thought I'd at least ask if there is a way to get all my chartbooks and settings onto my new computer now that the old one is gone. I bet the answer is that I should have backed everything up, right?

Do you still have the old computer? You should be able to remove the storage drive/device from it and access the files on it.
