Firstly, save the charts you want to export to Astro Gold in one of your Astro Gold folders in the iCloud Drive (see Using iCloud for more info).

If you are doing this from a Mac computer, you can copy any file from the Astro Gold folder that says it is a ".SFcht" file from there and get it into Astro Gold on your Windows computer.
