I want to download my QuickBooks desktop version to my new computer

Hello wodahs33,

 

Welcome back to the community! I can absolutely help you with getting your QuickBooks Desktop set up on a new computer. There are a couple of steps involved: moving the company file and installing QuickBooks Desktop.

 

When it comes to moving the company file, you can do that by transferring it to a USB or external hard drive. Once you have the file on a storage device, you can plug it into the new computer to move the files there. I recommend touching base with an IT professional if you're not sure how to do this.

 

Next, let's get QuickBooks Desktop set up. If you're using QuickBooks 2017, 2018, or 2019, you can find the download links for the program here: Download QuickBooks Desktop Make sure you're choosing the proper region, version, and year for what you're already using, otherwise the program won't allow you to enter your license information. For instance, if you're using QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2018, pick Canada, Pro, and 2018.

 

For versions older than that, finding the install files on the current computer, the original email with your download link, or using an install disc that came your purchase (if you have one) will allow you to install the program on your new computer.

 

If you're using a supported version (2017-2019) and need some help with the install process, don't be afraid to give us a call. Agents can be reached at 1-877-772-9158. Pro and Premier lines are open 24/7 while Enterprise and ProAdvisor support is available from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
