Join nowHello there, GS9.
I'll share some insights about upgrading QuickBooks Desktop.
Your right, the migration process involves exporting and importing your company file. When we upgrade to QBDT 2020, we'll have to start updating your QuickBooks Desktop version and company file to the 2012 version, then 2016, and 2020 to avoid data compatibility issues.
You can download the trial versions through this link: Download QuickBooks Desktop. Once you're done downloading, we can now start installing them. At the same time, we'll also have to upgrade your company files after switching to a new version of QuickBooks Desktop. Then, we need to create a backup copy and restore it to the next one until you can restore and open it to QuickBooks 2020.
Thou, I'd still recommend getting in touch with our Customer Care Team to be guided in doing this process. We're unable to provide a contact number here since this is an open forum. We've also reduced our support hours to 6 A.M. - 6 P.M. PT Monday - Friday and some products will only have chat support due to COVID-19. Rest assured, we'll resume our normal hours as soon we get through with this situation.
