Moving Turbo Tax Business to a new computer

I filed our business taxes (both Fed and State) with TurboTax Business on a Windows 10  machine in March.  I currently have a TurboTax Advantage subscription.  I am trying to move my data to a new Windows 11 machine.  I have done everything that was spelled out on how to transfer:

1. Install TurboTax Business -- DONE

2. Copy data from old machine onto flashdrive and move to new machine -- DONE

3. Bring up Turbo Tax, and VOILA it should be there.      NOT HAPPENING.

 

When I attempt to bring up my datafile in TurboTax, it says Error 199: State forms are missing.  It then wants to dwonload the state forms.  But the list doesn't include the forms I would need, and I already had those on the old machine (or I couldn't have filed.)  I am at my wits end.  The data file opens on the old machine.

 

To move the files from the old machine to the flash drive I have tried:

1. Copy/Paste command

2. Control C/V

3. Drag/Drop

4. I even opened TurboTax on the old machine and actually saved the filed off ("save as" command) to the flash drive location.  None of these made any difference.

What do I do now?
