Hi there,
Congrats on your first post in the Community. It's important you're able install QuickBooks on the second computer.
I'd be happy to share info on how to install QuickBooks. There are steps you'll need to follow and I'll share them below:
Step 1: Prepare for the install
- Make sure your computer meets the system requirements.
- If you haven’t already, download your version of QuickBooks Desktop. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it (like your Windows desktop)./li>
- Have your product and license number handy.
Step 2: Install QuickBooks Desktop
- Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooks.exe).
- Follow the onscreen instructions. Accept the software license agreement and then select Next.
- Enter your Product and License numbers. Then select Next.
Step 3: Decide which install type is right for you
You have two options for installing QuickBooks: express, or custom and network.
Express install
We recommend an express if you’re:
- A first-time user
- Reinstalling QuickBooks.
- Going to use QuickBooks on just this computer (not as part of a network of computers).
To express install:
- Select Express and then Next.
- Select Install.
- When it finishes, select Open QuickBooks to get started.
For more steps, I recommend checking out this article from our Community: Install QuickBooks Desktop.
