Migrating imessages to new macbook pro

I'm trying to migrate my old messages from my old macbook pro to a new one I just bought.

I tried copying over the old Messages folder, including chat.db, chat.db-shm, chat.db-wal.

I then restarted my mac and it has created new chat.db, chat.db-shm, chat.db-wal files - and it appears to have renamed the files I copied over from my old mac as chat.db.incompatible.v11026.sqlite.db, chat.db.incompatible.v11026.sqlite.db-shm, and chat.db.incompatible.v11026.sqlite.db-wal.

I've done this multiple times and the same thing keeps happening. Any advice would be appreciated!
