Manually transfer installed state forms (*.1pe files) from one PC to another

Hi--I have old TT programs that I want to transfer from one computer to another.  Is there a way to just do this manually?  It's not possible to simply use the install disks because in some cases I can no longer download either state tax forms or updates from the Intuit website because the versions are so old.  Simply copying all of the directories over from one computer to another doesn't seem to work, and not for the state forms as far as I can tell.  Thanks!

Manually transfer installed state forms (*.1pe files) from one PC to another

There is no way to "transfer" TurboTax software, federal or state, from one computer to another. You have to install the software on the new computer. But you cannot install software older than the current year and three previous years (currently 2021 through 2024). So the bottom line is that there is no way to install older TurboTax software on a different computer.
