Yes, you're able to do the data upgrades on the new Windows 11 using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 2022 up to 2024 versions, @DavidCH1. However, some features and data might be lost due to the edition intervals since QuickBooks no longer offers older programs to download.
Please know that the newer versions of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise are subscription-based plans. Thus, purchasing a non-subscription version is no longer available. However, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Sales team for other options.
Once you've purchased the latest version, you can move your QuickBooks Desktop 2012 company file by restoring a backup.
