Hi All,
I operate a small preschool and need to update our Mac OS X Yosemite because seems all apps I work with are requiring a later version. We are using Quickbooks 2014 (ancient I know) and I am no expert when is comes to Quickbooks or software upgrades. What I've read makes my head spin. I want to continue with Quickbooks Desktop but don't know which version to install and which MacOS to upgrade to. Any help with detailed instructions would be appreciated or links to any professional IT contractors in the Bay Area making house calls would help as well.
Thanks
Heather
I appreciate your loyalty to QuickBooks, Haquilino.
I'm more than happy to help you manage your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac.
To ensure you run your business flawlessly, you'll want to upgrade to the latest QBDT for Mac 2021. This version is already packed with the latest enhancement that QuickBooks has to offer. You can also try if for free to familiarize its features prior to upgrading.
Before doing so, I recommend to back up your company file so you can restore it in the newer version. I'd also suggest contacting our Support team to assist you in upgrading your file. They have the tools to convert your data seamlessly.
Also, you'll need to update your macOS X to v10.15 Catalina (minimum system requirements). This way, we can guarantee the software performs well on your Mac computer. Let me show you how.
For more insights about this, check out this article: Upgrade your QuickBooks for Mac to a newer version.
Once you're done, you'll want to utilize this link that can guide you in navigating your QBDT: QuickBooks Desktop Mac 2021 User's Guide.
You're always welcome to get back to me if you need further assistance with your QBDT for Mac. I'll be more than happy to help you out. Have a good one!
You should purchase a one time license of QB Desktop 2021 for Mac to run on Catalina or BigSur as mentioned by JasroV. The real issue is how you will upgrade your existing company file. You may utilize the trial license of QBD 2021 prior to purchasing it and ask Support to upgrade your file. Otherwise you may contact us in private and we will help to upgrade your file with a fee.
