Where can I download simple start UK 2015 trial?

Thank you RVC I note that prior notice was given to all users.

How can I proceed to transfer my current 2012 company information to the latest version of QB for UK without losing data? 

Thank you for getting back to us, @eddie01.

Allow me to step in and provide additional insights about converting your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2012 company file to 2021.

Upgrading your company file from the 2012 version to QBDT Premier 2021 is a big leap. Please know that QBDT has a 3-year life cycle. In this case, you'll have to convert your data file(s) in stages from 2012 to 2015 to 2018 to 2021. Then, restore the file in between. However, since the trial version for 2015 and 2018 is no longer supported, you can look for an installer outside QuickBooks and install it before converting the file to your QBDT 2021. 

If you're having difficulty finding an installer for a trial version of 2015 and 2018, I suggest reaching out to our QuickBooks Support Team. This way, they can help find a trial version and convert your 2012 file to 2021. 

I'm adding this article to learn more about converting company files to a newer version: Upgrade your company files after you switch to a new version of QuickBooks Desktop.

Please touch base with me here for all of your QuickBooks needs, I'm always happy to help. Thanks for dropping by.

Thank you Mark. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "an installer outside of quickbooks"? I tried getting hold of the support team but there is no contact number - it is greyed out. Please help.

I have my original QB 2012 disk. Can I install Quickbooks to my new laptop via an external cd/dvd and then update to the latest version of Quickbooks as you described below?

Allow me to provide a few information about the installer outside QuickBooks, eddie01.

An installer can install a new program on your computer and what Mark means is you can get one outside QuickBooks. You can try to search for one online. Also, you can move your company file to another computer or laptop. Then, restore your company file. However, you'll not be able to update it to the latest version. In addition, our support team is available Mondays to Fridays from 6 AM to 6 PM. 

Please check this article for more information: Download a trial of QuickBooks Desktop. For your reference, you'll want to purchase a new QuickBooks Desktop so you can use online services. Please check it here: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop/pro/.

Feel free to let us know if you need anything else about QuickBooks Desktop. We'll be here to help as always.
