It is better to transfer database data using dumps (text format file with SQL directives, transferring binary can cause problems especially if
you transfer between different versions, another db server instance does not support storage engine used on source db server.
AFAIK, every local webserver stack collection comes with phpMyAdmin,
you can export dump on your previous instance and import it on new.
I said that I already implanted the wordpress folder into the new xampp\htdocs and the old one is uninstalled because of the MySQL problem.
What errors are you experiencing? When you say you can’t access the old data, to which extent is that?
Please flesh up the question for more precise assitance.
So in more details, I had data in a wordpress folder in xampp for school and for no apparent reason, MySQL doesn’t start so I had to reinstall xampp, removing all databases. I implanted the old folder to the new C:\xampp\htdocs, but it just said database error. I know that the issue is the database not correct with the wordpress version, but I don’t want to start over because reasons. So can you help me find a way to link the old wordpress folder to the new xampp so that the database matches the old one?
also don’t make the solution too complicated to understand.
