Running natively in Windows, can a SageMath 8.0 Jupyter Notebook access "legacy" .sws worksheets

As a Windows 10 user, I recently upgraded from SageMath 6.8 running in VirtualBox to SageMath 8.0 running natively without VirtualBox. I successfully uploaded my "library" of hundreds of .sws worksheets into a SageMath 8.0 "legacy" (SageNB) Notebook (*). But my question is as follows:

Is there a way to upload my "library" of .sws worksheets into a Jupyter Notebook in SageMath 8.0 running natively in Windows?

(*) I noticed that on my system, the Windows 10 shortcut produced upon installing SageMath 8.0 had the following target for opening a Jupyter Notebook: "C:\Program Files\SageMath 8.0\runtime\bin\mintty.exe" -t 'SageMath 8.0 Notebook Server' -i sagemath.ico /bin/bash --login -c '/opt/sagemath-8.0/sage --notebook jupyter'

By simply replacing that last word jupyter with sagenb (and renaming the shortcut), I obtained a shortcut that opens a "legacy" SageMath Notebook (SageNB). This, rather than a Jupyter Notebook, is the only way I've so far managed continue using my "library".

You should replace the last word of the shortcut command by export (instead of jupyer or sagenb). Then the notebook will open in the converter mode sws --> ipynb (Jupyter).

Actually, export is the default value for the option --notebook of the sage command.

Thanks for your answer. When I make the change you suggest, the shortcut opens a page that says "Convert old notebooks to Jupyter ... Click on any of the notebooks below to convert it to a new Jupyter notebook and open it in Jupyter: ...". ---Unfortunately, the list of notebooks to be converted is empty.

What should I do to make this page recognize & convert my .sws files?

NB: My collection of .sws files currently exists in two forms: (1) a .zip file that I downloaded from a SageMath 6.8 Notebook, and (2) the files resulting from uploading said .zip file into a SageMath 8.0 Notebook (SageNB). (I'm unsure where these latter files are located, but I suspect they're in the many subfolders of C:\Users\<myusername>\.sagemath-8.0\sage_notebook.sagenb\home\__store__
