First, if you want to use the already encrypted file, you need to copy 
the private key from the old to the new PC.  Just using the same name 
and email to create a new key will create a different key.  If it didn't 
work that way, then anyone could recreate your private key, just knowing 
your username and email address.

I don't have KMM handy to test, but I do remember that you have to be 
very careful when trying to save an encrypted file as unencrypted.  
However, was they file encrypted by KMyMoney or by Kleopatra?  If the 
latter, then just use Kleopatra to make an unencrypted copy of the file.
