With a Quicken version as old this, the most likely location for the Quicken data files is in C:\Quickenw

Another possible location could be in a subfolder of \Documents and Settings named \Quicken

However, the Quicken "data file" consists of several individual files, all using the same file name, e.g., QDATA, but different file types.
Your best way of transferring the data files to the new computer is to create a backup to floppy disk, CD or, if available, USB stick. (If USB stick, use the Safely remove hardware function to eject the USB stick. If not done, the backup may not be completely written to the device). This will ensure that all the components of the data file are available for restore.
On the new computer open Quicken and use the File Menu's Backup and Restore function to restore the backup from the floppy or USB stick. As destination for the restored data files use whichever is available:
The \Documents and Settings subfolder for document files where there should be a \Quicken subfolder. If not, create it.
Or, if that naming standard is already available in your (unsupported) Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Quicken\
After restore is complete open the restored file in Quicken.
