New PC... How to import bindings from old PC?

Not sure about windows 11 myself, but the directory may just be hidden. You should be able to find it by using windows search for %appdata% which should locate the
Users\admin\AppData\Roaming
in explorer, then change to
Users\admin\AppData\Local
and there should be a frontier developments directory there.

I'm running Win 11 (Pro) and my binds are here:
C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
One caveat is that I upgraded from 10 to 11 on this machine.

you are both correct weather 10 11 or 7
%localappdata% being the file explorer shortcut but C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
being the full dir path
just copy all the frontier folders located in the sub diretory over to the new pc for all your history visted stars ect to go over too
after you have run the launcher installer package from the drive you want the main bulk of files to goto (so move it from my downloads first)
If you cant see them you will need to enable(via the tickboxes) show hidden file and folders in the pc control panel file & folder options
to make them visable as they can be hidden as the op mentioned
see the bindings guide stuck at the top of this pc subforum for how to fully customise your bindings noting version 4.2 are for odyssey and version 3.0 is for legacy

I have show hidden files enabled. What I didn't have was the Bindings directory, because I hadn't played on the new install yet, so everything was default. 
So I just copied the directory in there, and it works fine.
Thanks for your help. Just put it down to a case of neurological flatulence.
