Which QB Desktop year version do you have?

Can you still run QB on your old laptop?

I know a way how to move your QuickBooks Desktop file to another computer, Arlet. Let's work together so you can keep going in managing your business.

 

To transfer your company file to your new computer, let's ensure first install QuickBooks Desktop on the new device. It's best to take note of the 2023 version's system requirements to verify the compatibility with your device. This way, you can guarantee the optimal QuickBooks experience on your new laptop.

 

To ensure the safety of your files, it's important to create a backup copy on your original computer. Then, you can follow the steps below to help you move to the new computer.

 

  1. Once company backups are secured, save and copy the backup file to your computer using a flash drive or a network if the computers are connected.
  2. Then, restore the backup to your new device. Please know that it should have a unique file name.

 

For more detailed information, feel free to visit this guide: Move your company files to another computer.

 

Also, if you encounter errors while installing the software, I've included this reference to guide you through fixing them: Fix QuickBooks Desktop Update Errors.

 

Moreover, you can check out this link about the newest version of QuickBooks Desktop: Release Notes for QuickBooks Desktop 2023.

 

We'll always be around in this thread if you require additional assistance managing your company file, Arlet. Please don't hesitate to leave a reply below so we can get back to you at any time. Keep safe and have a good one!

Do you need to reinstall QB Desktop 2021 on the new machine?

Can you access CAMPS and find your license code there?

Having a license number is not enough. You may need to access your CAMPS and find your license code there.
