Moving TTax files from Win10 to new Win 11 computer

I have TurboTax Home & Business for 2024 and several prior years installed on my Windows 10 desktop computer. I am purchasing a NEW computer with Windows 11 on it, i.e., I'm NOT upgrading the old computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Please provide detailed instructions on how to copy previous TTax files to the new computer, including exactly which files to copy and the process to use once TTax 2025 is loaded on the Win 11 computer.

I have the same question. did anyone respond to the question? my version is the desktop version and what about the previous years on the old pc? are there specific folders or files to move? it sure would be great if tech support had articles on what specifically needs to be done. Kind of annoying and expensive.

The answer and Link from @VolvoGirl above gives specific information on how to move the TurboTax files from one computer to another.

Did you not read or understand the directions given in the answer?
