Join nowI would like to install my old quickbooks pro 2010 on my new laptop. I have the license number and the product number. I have WIndows 10. Is this possible?
Thank you for reaching the Community, clarkecd.
Yes, you can install QuickBooks Desktop 2010 on Windows 10 as long as you still have the product details and the installer. After that, you may restore a copy of your current company file from there.
Just to give you a heads up, we can't promise a trouble-free experience since this QuickBooks version is no longer supported.
Once you installed it on your laptop, you can now restore your company file.

I just bought a new computer and had my old one cloned to it. I tried to open QuickBooks Pro 2010 and can't. I have the original disc and license #. I contacted the chat line today and they say I am out of luck. I am 76 years old and don't want to change or try to learn new stuff. I have never used any of the extras such as payroll extra. I started using Quick books, then went to QuickBooks pro 2000 the upgraded to 2010. All my information is now lost unless I can open this disc. Please help me. Thanks
Hello there, Nechako.
I appreciate you for contacting our phone support team. I'm here to guide how you can open the QuickBooks software to the new computer.
Since you have the QuickBooks Desktop 2010 version, it's possible that the OS is not compatible. As a workaround, you may open QuickBooks using the compatibility mode. I'm here to guide you through the steps:
If the compatibility mode didn't work on your end, our only way is to upgrade your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest one. if you want to stay using Windows 10, you can upgrade to QuickBooks Desktop 2019, 2020, and 2021. I've added this reference for the detailed steps to upgrade: Upgrade your QuickBooks Desktop subscription.
