Enhance your computer’s performance
QuickBooks system requirements support most computers. If you still have performance issues, you may need to increase the amount of random-access memory (RAM).
Know where to store your data files
Where you store your files can affect QuickBooks’ performance. Normally, QuickBooks stores data files in Windows 10 and newer versions in:
C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks\Company Files
You can set up a folder on your C drive to store your data and related files. You can also move the entire folder with the data files when needed.
