i am using QB 2017 just for my small home business. I need to get a new computer and I read the QB Migration tool doesn't work on 2017. Can I just upgrade to 2018 now or do I have to upgrade to the latest desktop version?

To ensure compatibility and continued support, we recommend upgrading to the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), Dnestlerode.

 

You are correct that the QuickBooks Migration Tool only supports QuickBooks Desktop 2018 and newer versions. As you plan to transition to a new computer, upgrading to the latest version of QBDT will provide the best compatibility and ensure a seamless migration of your company files.

 

Once you're ready to proceed, visit our Plans & Pricing page to purchase the software. After that, download and install it on your new computer.

 

If you have any additional questions or need assistance during the upgrade process, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help every step of the way.

@Dnestlerode 

They only offer QB Desktop 2024 Enterprise with the subscription license at this time.Another option, you should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA directly via email. If you are lucky, you can get old QB Desktop with a non subscription license to upgrade your version
