returns from years 1993 to 2004 all created with turbotax software.

You will need to use the same year software as what you originally used to prepare the returns. If that is no longer an option then you won't be able to open those files. However, you can obtain a copy of prior tax returns through the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

I visited the IRS website and I can go back to 2015 tax returns. Nothing beyond that is available for downloads.

From the IRS you can get free transcripts going back at least seven years. If you want exact copies from the IRS it will cost you $50 per return. The IRS keeps returns for seven years.

You can get a free transcript from the IRS:
