Planning on buying new machine for Windows 10 - how do I transfer previous years software when I do that

MrTest20

In order to comply with the minimum system upgrades for 2022 Standalone ProSeries Professional I will be getting a new machine with Windows 10.  How do I transfer all my previous years software to the new device?  Is there a FAQ I missed somewhere?  Thanks in advance everybody!

Start with the oldest year first, so that your preparer info transfers to each year.

You have to install all years' softwares.

You can copy and paste all tax files to the new computer's directories.

I thought everything today is Windows 11, not 10?  I'm still using Lotus123, Wordstar and an abacus so I really don't know.

Probably have to special order or find some old backstock to get Win10. All the new machines are coming with Win 11.

Thanks and yes, I am going to get a new machine that has Windows 11 on it and hopefully from what little I have read in the forums on Windows 11 causing issues should be okay.

The abacus works in windows; you just have to stand really close for the sunshine.
