After an accident on my PC Win10, how can I copy my contacts from my old PC Win7 on the machine Win10 Thunderbird?

Both machines have the latest version of Thunderbird. I can't find any route in the menus that will do the job I need. I tried probably all FAQ relevant again to nothing does not.

I don't think that there is a formal instruction to achieve this.

First of all, is to copy your entire profile more useless in this case? Which would transfer your address books and much more.

If you want to really just move address books, you can copy files from *.mab of one Thunderbird profile to another. Address book PAB lives in abook.mab and collected addresses lives in history.mab. These two may be copy-and-paste from one profile to another butmake Thunderbird is closed first. Other files *.mab represent user-defined address books and must be imported after them have been copied to the new system. Use https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html for that.

Inside Thunderbird itself, you can export the address book files and their re-importation to the new machine. The LDIF file format works best for this. You can also use CSV, but you will find that you need to select and arrange data fields.
