Hello there, @SandraSchwartz. Thank you for sharing your concern with us. I'm here to help you migrate from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Yes, you can migrate from QBO to QBDT, and I agree with Fiat Lux - ASIA.
Let me add more details about the conversion process to the Desktop version. To begin with, let's update your windows version to its latest release and make sure your new computer meets the system requirements of the migration to work.
After updating your windows, you can sign in to QuickBooks Online and download the migration tool again successfully. To do that, follow the steps below:
- Sign in to the QuickBooks Online account you want to convert using a supported web browser. Use your Intuit Account credentials.
- Select the URL and replace anything after /app/ with exportqbodatatoqbdt. The URL should say https://app.qbo.intuit.com/app/exportqbodatatoqbdt. Then select Enter on your keyboard. Other support task links won't work during this process.
- You'll see an Export Overview Window. Read the Export Overview. You can print out it if you'd like. Select Get Started.
- Select the Download tool to download the QuickBooks Desktop migration tool.
- After downloading, launch the installer and run it.
- Follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
