There are a number of things that could be wrong. Usually this error occurs when there is no .htaccess file present, or it's not configured correctly. (Keep in mind: if you new host is not running Apache, then you're not dealing with .htaccess altogether) It might also be that mod_rewrite is not set.

First thing to try though: set your permalinks back to default, or date and save it. Then set it back to pretty permalinks with %postname% and save it. Quite often this actually solves your issue in case the correct accessfile is actually present. :')

It also depends on whether you have changed the domain? Look at this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

following this step.

i)uplode download file in your folder(root folder eg.wp-config.php location).

There is a WordPress plugin called duplicator. Using this plugin we can transfer WordPress website from one host to another. I think this is the simple and easy way to transfer WordPress sit. Here is the link.

For me, only way you should ever do it if you at least don't have solid server-side knowledge is using All-in-one WP Migration plugin.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

It allows you to export your database, media files, plugins, and themes. You can apply unlimited find/replace operations on your database and the plugin will also fix any serialization problems that occur during find/replace operations.
