If I started 2017 Premier CD on new computer. 2016 data search failed. I copied files from the old computer to the new. Can I reinitiate the search process?

When will the 2017 access the 2016 data, and how will I be sure it is successful in doing so.

Yes, you have to click on file and say you are starting a new return and then click continue and the program will ask if you want to transfer in a prior year file. 

I have two computers and am emailing myself and sending prior years from one computer to the other to do this all the time.  It works, post a comment if still having issues.
