If you are referring to Windows Journal, I'm sorry to tell you that it was discontinued long ago, back in 2016. It's successor is Microsoft OneNote, which does not read .jnt files.

Microsoft published a Windows Journal to Microsoft OneNote Converter but it's a beta and so it may or may not work. If it doesn't work, and you search online, you may find a website that can convert .jnt files to a format that you can use.

Another possible solution: If you have access to a computer with an older version of Windows (i.e., prior to Windows 10) you can open your journals in Windows Journal and then copy the contents into an app that you can use today, like Microsoft Word.
