Will the flash player debugger allow me to open SWFs on a new computer in 2020 or will it be blocked

So currently i am using the debugger to open swf files on my windows computer. In January 2020 I have to get a brand new computer that wouldnt have the debugger so I assume I wont be able to open swf files but if I perhaps used a USB to transfer the debuger from my old computer to the new computer would this allow me to open swf files in 2020 and later or would windows block me from opening my swf files with the debugger?

thanks

I'm not sure what you'd like to elaborate on.  The browsers are dropping support for the plugin, thus neither the release nor debugger will work in the browsers.

Debugger will also be end-of-lifed at the end of 2020

Does this mean it simply won't be updated anymore or does this mean that it wont allow me to run my swf files at all?
