Good Afternoon, @mdg2.
I can provide you with some information on this issue.
As of January 14, 2020, Microsoft no longer provides security updates or support for PCs running Windows 7. Computer running on Windows 7 will be more vulnerable to viruses and security risks. That's why Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 10. Below is a link that you can check out to learn more information about Windows 7.
Before going any further into moving your company file from one computer to the other, you'll need to upgrade to Windows 10.
Afterward, I suggest contacting our Support Team so they can help you upgrade your QuickBooks Desktop account to the newest version. They have advanced tools to help upgrade and migrate your company file. Here's how:
- Open QuickBooks.
