Can I transfer H&R Block to my new computer?

Alright, in this article, we'll teach you how to transfer H&R Block, along with its software, tax files, and settings, from one computer to another using both a migration tool and manual methods.

The usual approach is to copy and paste, by transferring tax files from “My Documents” to an external hard drive or USB stick, and then reinstalling the software on the new machine. This works, but it is cumbersome. There is a better way.

A better way to transfer is by using the Todo PCTrans tool, which can migrate the H&R Block program, data, and settings from one computer to another automatically. We offer you three transfer modes: PC to PC, Backup and Restore, and Data Rescue. This tool works for program, files, and settings migration in Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP/Vista.

Let's take this step by step.
