Default Missing files!

So, I just got a new computer and I've moved all my files for Reaper over to it. The problem is that every time I open a project, it shows that several files are "missing", so then I have to browse for each of the missing files every time. I'm no computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination, so I need help figuring out what to do. I'm not sure what to change in the file "address" or "location", whatever it's called.

What is the full path name i.e. C:\Reaper Files\Filename\etc. etc. that Reaper is using to find the old files, and what is the full path name of the files where they are now on your new computer?

I’ll have to take another look tomorrow when I get home from work. I’ll let you know exactly what it says. I think we’re on the right track though. I get so confused with file path names. It seems to be doing this for several files on all of my songs. So obviously something got mixed up in the transition from one computer to the next.

Ok, for example, here's a missing file in the project I just opened.

The following file could not be found:
C:\Users\Jeremy\Documents\Native Instruments\Reaktor5\Library\Audio Files\PlanetCalledEarth.wav

In project:
C:\Users\jrbow\OneDrive\Desktop\Sound Files\Song Projects\This World is not Your Home\This World is not Your Home.RPP
