Then copy the file from the old computer to the new computer.

With the Windows Explorer go to the folder that is shown after Data Source=. If ProgramData is not shown please set the checkmark at Hidden items in the View menu. Right click to Mira.sdf or Mira (depending on view settings) and open the Security tab. Click Edit and change the settings for Users to grant Full Access permisions. Confirm with OK.
