How do I transfer data from flash drive to new desktop?

Copy the 2024 tax data file from the flash drive to the hard drive of the new computer.

On the computer with the 2024 TurboTax software installed, start the TurboTax program.  Click on the File menu at the top left of the TurboTax desktop program.  Click on Open Tax Return.  Browse to the location where you copied the 2024 tax data file and click on the file to open the tax return.

You need the tax data file ending in .tax2024.  That should be on your flash drive.  Copy it to the computer.  It should go in your Documents then in a Turbo Tax subfolder.  Have you installed the program yet?

Since you now have to log into an Intuit Account all your downloads and licenses are listed there (even if you bought it from somewhere else) so if you need to download to install it again or install on another computer, even on the other operating system (Windows, Mac).  And the download will always be up to date with all the updates.

IMPORTANT 

After you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to File-New Tax Return).

Then go to FILE -Open and find your return.
