  1. Files and documents are missing


    I’ve bought a new computer and want to share all my files and documents from the old computer to the new one. I installed Windows 10 on my old computer two years ago. My new computer is HP laptop running Windows 10. My files were on OneDrive and I checked them a couple of days before buying a new computer. I cannot find anything on One Drive now. Zero

    My Documents Files - Deleted?

    I have a PC where I have moved My Docs away from my C: to my E: so i can perhaps suggest a few things to check.

    1. The documents and settings folder will still be present on your C: (although unused)
    2. My Documents on my E: is shown as E:\Data (do you have a similar directory)
    3. Is your missing data in this \Data folder if it exists?
    4. If you click the My Documents shortcut does it take you to the default C:\doc and settings\blah blah, or does it take you to the \Data folder?

    Ive had a similar issue with an application resetting the My Docs path back to its orig location and in essence orphaning the My Docs on my E:

  3. Missing files

    Hi Norma,

    In order to help you with your concern about missing files that is now in the listed apps, may we request you to answer the following questions first:

    • Have you made any recent changes to your computer system prior to getting this issue?
    • Have you tried clicking on the Turbo Tax files app itself and after that, you should see a
      Move option and then you can choose to relocate it to Documents
      from there?
    • What other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    We look forward to your response.

    Regards.
