Now my account shows 2 unique PC's but the new one doesnt have the work from the old one so:
Can i drag certain files from my old hard drive into the new bionic folders? which files and where do they go?
Or do i just let the old work time out or can I deactivate the old PC in my account.
I would prefer to get the old work done.
thanks for any info

You can only do that by moving the complete BOINC Data directory, with all files and sub-directories to the new PC and reinstalling BOINC, whereby you point out to the installer where the data directory is.

This would mean that any work your new PC has at this time will have to be done first, that you will have to set Seti to No new tasks, run out all work in cache, upload&report it, then uninstall BOINC, delete the present BOINC directory, move over the old Data directory, reinstall BOINC (pointing out the data directory in case you changed its location) and continue work on that.
