PC File migration

I've been using Turbo Tax on my Windows 10 PC for years. Just bought a Windows 11 PC. The old files migrated from my old PC to my new one. I can see these prior year files. When I buy and then load the 2025 program will prior year information automatically populate the new version? I tried to install the 2024 version, but the license code was not accepted. Please help.

When you start the 2025 TurboTax program click "Begin" or "Start a New Return." It may automatically find your 2024 files. You can then select the file that you want to transfer information from. If it doesn't automatically find the files, click Browse to find the 2024 file that you want to transfer from.

You do not need the 2024 program.

Thanks. I bought the 2025 edition, installed, and all the correct information was transferred. Very easy really. Thanks again.
