Does Windows 10 not run my version of Quickbooks 2009?

Yes you can install Quickbooks 2009 on Windows 10.  Just download and install .NET 2 and .NETFX64.exe from Microsoft or from your original disc.   I have QB2009 running on a fresh install of Win 10 Pro 1709.

Hello, 

Follow up question to your reply.

If I want to follow the step up, how do I get license numbers for the intermediate versions? i.e. I can download QB2012 and QB 2015, but not install due to lack of license info. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Burny

Update: I was able to load a backup Copy of my QB 2009 company without any issues into Quickbooks 2019. 

Hi there, Burny.

Good to see you here in QuickBooks Community. I'm here to help and guide you on how to locate the license number of your QuickBooks Desktop. 

Good Job for installing your QuickBooks version, you can find the license number on the sticker with your CD. You may also click the Help menu bar of your QuickBooks Desktop, choose the Manage My License option and select Change My License Number. 

The other option is, you can press F2 key in your keyboard and it will show the Product Information with your License number. 

In addition, QuickBooks 2012 and 2015 versions are supported only until May 31, 2016. You can check this article to learn more about QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation (Disco) policy and upgrade information.

Hi Ajmulakel87,

Point of Sale version 2009 is not available for download. You'll want to visit our website to download for a free trial of the latest versions: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/point-of-sale/compare/

I added the DotNet 2 via control panel and installed Quickbooks Premier 2010 with no issues.

I had disallowed the main QB program in the firewall, but it went to the intuit site to activate so whatever. Life is good again.

As you know QBooks 2010, when installing it, tries to install Flash Player 10 and Windows 10 rejects or prevents Flash Player 10 from being installed. At that point, the QBooks 2010 installation stops and is cancelled. How did you manage to install Flash Player 10 so QBooks 2010 can be installed in Windows 10? Please help and thank you.

Try install it on compatibility mode Win 7

Can you help me get my version to install on windows 10? Every time the installer gets to flash, it quits.

Hi, @vtalsma.

I'm here to help you with installing your QuickBooks Desktop version on Windows 10 successfully.

To isolate the issue, I recommend downloading the QuickBooks Tool Hub to fix QuickBooks Desktop installation errors. First, download the QuickBooks Tool Hub.

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the most recent version (1.4.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop).
3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. When the install finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

Second, use the QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool.

1. Open the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
2. In the tool hub, select Installation Issues.
3. Select QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool. Let the tool run. It can take up to 20 minutes.
4. When the tool finishes, restart your computer.

Then, update your Windows to prevent and fix installation errors.

1. Check out Windows Update: FAQ on how to update your version of Windows from Microsoft.
2. Once the update finishes, restart your computer.
3. Install QuickBooks Desktop again.

If you can install and open QuickBooks, you're good to go. If you continue to see issues, you can repair specific Windows components yourself. You can seek assistance from an IT expert to perform the process:

• Repair or reinstall Microsoft .NET Framework
• Repair Microsoft MSXML

 Additionally, you install QuickBooks in Selective Startup mode to install QuickBooks smoothly.

Once you've installed QuickBooks, you can check out the references from this link as your guide while working with QuickBooks: Get started with QuickBooks Desktop.
