opening a backup from desktop 2015 on desktop 2016.

HALCYON · ‎October 12, 2021

I am retiring and my client is changing the set up of their business which has all happened on the 31 September 2021. For 6 months they are hoping to continue using Desktop 2015 UK for entries.. Their new business partners have quickbooks 2016 desktop but I do not know if my 2015 v25 backup will open in their 2016 UK version. Does anyone know? The business was VAT registered voluntarily as under the turnover limit so not need for MTD.

Hello Halcyon,

Welcome to the Community page,

You will be able to restore the 2015 backup in 2016 if you log in as the admin user, however after opening and updating the file in 2016, you would then not be able to use the newly restored 2016 company file in the 2015 version. The backup will be opened in 2015, but if you restored the backup on 2016 and added transactions, those would only be viewable on the 2016 company file.

You can secure a backup file on QBD 2015 UK version and restore it on QBD 2016 UK version easily.
