Buy nowI'm in the process of upgrading to WIndows 11. I was told I need to uninstall QBDT Pro Plus 2024 Enhanced Payroll and then reinstall it after the upgrade. Can someone point me to step-by-step instructions on this? Also, is there a way to get the payroll piece working again after the re-install without calling QB?
Thank you.
I appreciate you reaching out to ensure everything is prepared before upgrading your system, Jenny.
When upgrading to Windows 11, all your installed apps, including QuickBooks Desktop, will remain intact. Modern programs like QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 are already designed to be fully compatible with Windows 11. Therefore, there’s no need to uninstall and reinstall QuickBooks Desktop. Your software should function smoothly after the update. For additional information, you can refer to this article: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2024.
That said, it’s always best practice to back up your company file before making any major system changes. it is recommended to save your company file on an external hard drive or USB flash drive so it’s safe and can easily be restored after the upgrade. This extra step ensures your data is secure and can be reinstated into the program if you experience any unexpected issues.
If you decide to reinstall QBDT due to specific needs or preferences, follow these steps:

So, I installed Windows 11. I can open Quickbooks, but I can't install the Update. i think the problem is that I did part of the QB update while I was still on Windows 10 and I'm trying to finish it after the Windows 11 update. So, the QB update won't work. I get an error 1603 when I try to Update Quickbooks. I need to update QB before my next payroll. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
