Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Here's how to securely move your tax files from a Windows 7 to a Windows 10 computer while minimizing the chances of data corruption:
- Make sure your new computer has TurboTax installed on it.
- Connect a thumb drive or other portable device to your old computer.
- Copy or move your tax data file to the device. (We recommend copying instead of dragging and dropping.)
- After copying, disconnect or eject the portable device and connect it to your new computer.
- Browse to the portable device, select your tax return file, drag it to your desktop (or other easy-to-find location), then release the mouse key and copy (instead of moving) the file.
- After copying, open TurboTax, browse to where you copied your tax file and open it to make sure it didn't get corrupted.
- If your file somehow got corrupted, delete it from your device and your new computer and repeat these steps from the beginning."
