I'll help you determine why you don't have the option to download QuickBooks Online Desktop App for Windows, jert-spacepengui. 

A feature may or may not be available, depending on the version of QBO you are using. The QBO Desktop App is only available for QuickBooks Online Advanced and Accountant versions. 

If you're using QBO Simple Start, Essentials, or Plus versions, you'll want to consider upgrading your subscription to get the QBO Desktop App to your account. You can follow the steps provided by my colleague above.

Here's how to upgrade your subscription:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Account and settings.
2. Select the Billing & subscription tab.
3. Make sure your payment info is up to date.
4. In the QuickBooks Online section, select Upgrade your plan.
5. Review the available plans and then select Choose plan.
6. Follow the onscreen steps to upgrade your plan.

I also encourage you to visit our QuickBooks Help page for guidance on your future tasks. This page provides articles, tips, and information to manage transactions, forms, taxes, and other related topics.

Wowwww, this feature used to be free! So now we have to upgrade to $100/month just to get the app?

I switched from an old Desktop Version to the Simple Start online 2 weeks ago. When migrating it gave me the option to down the app. It worked fine for 2 weeks. I just set up a new computer and now I can't find a way to down the app just two weeks later. It still functions 100% fine on a Simple Start plan on my other PC. Why in the world can I now not put the same app on my new PC that meets all the requirements? I know it says above that a minimum of Advanced is required but I am in the app and connected to a Simple Start subscription right now. 

Let me guide you on how you can successfully download the app, DeepGrok. 

The correct specification of your computer greatly affects the computer's performance. Generally, if your computer meets the desired system requirement, you should be able to download the desktop app on your new PC. 

You'll have to make sure that you're using a Windows 64-bit computer and ensure that the user must be a QuickBooks Online subscriber or an accountant with a QuickBooks Online Accountant so you can download the app. To do so, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Go to the Gear ⚙ icon. Then select Get the desktop app.
3. Depending on your settings, you might see the app install automatically.  If not, QuickBooks will prompt you to save the .exe file.
   • If asked, choose where you want to save the file and select Save. Open the QuickBooks Setup file to install.
4. A shortcut to the app gets installed on your desktop. After you install the app, it should open automatically. If it doesn’t, open the app from the shortcut.
5. On the sign-in screen, enter your user ID and password. Then select Sign in.
6. If you see more than one QuickBooks Online company, select the company you want to open. 
7. The first time you use the desktop app, you’ll see an option to select how QuickBooks is displayed on the main homepage, (you can change this later).
   • If you switch from QuickBooks Desktop and want a similar view, select Yes, let’s go.
   • If you’re already familiar with QuickBooks Online, select No, I already know how to use QuickBooks Online.
8. After selecting your company, you’re now all set.

I accessed the gear icon but there isn't an option to download the desktop app.  I have it on my desktop computer but am trying to get the app on my laptop.  

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community, VGuenther. Let's perform some steps to ensure you can get the QuickBooks desktop app on your laptop. 

As previously stated, downloading the desktop app via the Gear icon is only available for QuickBooks Online Advanced and Accountant versions. Also, it needs a Windows 64-bit processor in your software to have the feature.

If you already use the subscription and the processor mentioned and the issue persists, I recommend logging into your QBO account on a private browser. Then, go to the Gear icon and choose Get the desktop app from there. This is to rule out the possibility of a webpage issue that might cause unusual behavior.

Use these keyboard shortcuts based on the browser you're using:

• For Firefox or Microsoft Edge, press Ctrl + Shift + P.
• For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N.
• For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N.

If it works in incognito, you need to clear the cache of your regular browser. This removes the history or log of sites so you can start with a clean slate. If the steps above don't work, use another supported browser as an alternative.

If the problem continues, you can use this link to automatically download the desktop app on your laptop.

Lastly, I'm adding this article to further guide you in effectively handling your business using QBO: Help guides for QuickBooks Online. It contains topics about advanced accounting, banking, and payments.

Hoping this helps someone else after I spent an hour in a chat session...

This is the link that finally worked for me. I also did not have the option available under my settings for some reason.

Hey there, @BBKelly.

Thanks for sharing this link with us. I know that this would help other users in QuickBooks that are experiencing the same issue.

We love to see members supporting one another! Have a great day. 

I'm wondering this as well!

BBKelly -

You're awesome. Just spent a few hours trying to figure this out. An hour of which was a chat of absolutely no help other than Intuit trying to identify who I was, my company, my phone # & email. All the kept telling me is I had to upgrade to the Advanced Subscription for $100/mo. Crazy.

You are a lifesaver! So ridiculous that QB help can't share a simple link. I have the app on my desktop with no problems, just wanted it on my laptop as well.
