If I use a new computer to do my 2018 return, do I need to also load the 2017 program disk on the new computer along with the 2017 data files?

I already have the 2017 data files on the new computer, but 2018 thinks I used standard deduction last year....but I itemized deductions.

You only need the tax file ending in .tax2017 to transfer into 2018.  Did you transfer it when you started?

No, you just need to import your 2017 data file into your 2018 program.  You do not need to load your 2017 program disk.
