Buy nowI currently have Desktop QuickBooks Pro 2011 and I would like to upgrade to Desktop QuickBooks premier 2021 and put it on my computer that currently runs Windows 11, so how can I go about doing this without having any issues?
Welcome to the Community, bomonk! It’s fantastic to see you making your first post. Upgrading QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is a smart move to enhance the efficiency of your software and streamline your business operations. I'm here to guide you through this process, ensuring it's as smooth as possible so you can focus on what you do best!
QBDT 2021 and earlier versions may experience compatibility issues with Windows 11, and some features might not function properly. It's the 2022 and later ones are optimized for this operating system.
Moreover, when installing QuickBooks on a new computer, a validation code will be required. Please note that as of May 2024, Intuit has discontinued support for QBDT 2021. With this, generating a manual code for installation is unavailable.
Furthermore, I recommend purchasing the supported version (QBDT Enterprise) instead to guarantee a seamless experience. You can visit our QuickBooks page or contact the Sales Department to assist you further. Please see the screenshot below if you opt to reach out to our support for help.
After you've signed up, install QBDT in your computer and update your company files.
With these details in hand, you’re now able to decide which desktop version fits your business and upgrade accordingly. If there are any additional questions or you need further clarification about the process, please don’t hesitate to click the Reply button. I’m always here to help. Take care, bomonk, and I hope you have a fantastic day ahead!
