I have a new computer and have loaded 2023 Turbo Tax but my 2022 tax information is on an external hard drive. How do I transfer 2022 information so that it appears when entering the new 2023 information?

Using the desktop software just start a New Tax Return. If the program does not find a prior tax data file for 2022 then click on Browse. Go to the location where the 2022 tax data file is located, select the file and click on Open.

Sounds easy and probably is... if one knows where one goes to "browse". I don't see that command, can you direct me please? Thanks.

@golfcrackerjack Do you have the Desktop installed program? Here's a screen shot from Windows 2021 for Transferring from 2020. It should be the same for 2023.

Copy the .tax2022 file from the external hard drive to the hard drive on your new computer, then do what DoninGA said above. TurboTax will not find the copied 2022 file automatically.
