ATX2013 to a new computer

[ILLMAS]

I cannot find the instructions on how to transfer all my data to a new computer, ATX tech support sent me a pdf file I cannot locate in my email.  Anyone?

 

Thanks

Download program from web site onto new computer.  On old computer export all files to a jump drive.  On new computer, import all files into program.

If you want the e-file information, you must restore from the backup file.  Exporting will not give you e-file information.

I like your suggestion, what are the next steps?

I have to look to see where the backup file folder is located.  I will post that when I locate it.

 

1. Install 2013 on the new computer using the downloaded file from the website.  You will need your installation codes.

2. Copy the backup file to an external drive.

3. Copy the backup file from the external drive to the hard drive of the new computer.  Location is unimportant as long as you know where it is.

4. Open the program on the new computer.

5. Choose backup/restore

6. Follow the steps directing the program to the backup file you just moved.

7. Depending on the number of returns, it may take a while to restore.
