I previously had all my tax years ufile programs on my desktop PC but when I had all my info transferred to my new laptop, the ufile programs did not transfer. I can't see where I can re-download my previous years that were installed via download. And I do have CDs to reinstall older tax years (I need to help someone who needs to go back to 2012). Your instruction/assistance will be appreciated.

UFile File Transfer
To transfer your Ufile files ie tax returns to a new computer, please follow these steps:
1- Transfer the data files from the old computer to the new computer. These files' names have the extension ".uxx", where xx are the last 2 digits of the tax year (e.g. ..u21)
2- If your tax returns were also saved as .pdf files, you can transfer them as well to the new computer.
NOTE: For security reasons, we suggest that you transfer all files using a USB memory stick.
Service - Transfer data files by using a USB memory stick
1. Plug the USB flash drive into a USB port on the old computer.
2. Find a place on your USB drive to store the copied files. You can create a new folder.
3. Drag the file(s) from the computer to the USB drive. Dragging a file to the USB drive will create a new copy of the file without deleting the original on the USB drive.
4. To ensure you do not harm the data on the USB drive, you need to safely eject the drive. At the bottom right corner of the screen by the clock, find the USB icon (depending on your version of windows, it may have a green checkmark over it). Right-click the icon, then choose "Safely eject".
When the confirmation that says, "It's safe to unplug your device" will appear, you can remove the USB drive from the port.
5. Plug the USB flash drive into a USB port on the new computer.
6. Open your flash drive with Windows Explorer.
7. Find the files you want to transfer.
8. Right click on these files and choose the option "Copy".
9. Paste them to the new location.
10. Safely remove your flash drive.
