2017 QuickBooks Desktop prompting for upgrade

We’re using QuickBooks Desktop: Premier Manufacturing and Wholesale Edition 2017, and we’re getting the prompt “Support for your QuickBooks & Internet Explorer 11 has ended. Update QuickBooks now.”

 

Internet Explorer isn’t installed on this PC anymore, and the software seems to function.

 

Do we have to upgrade? What are our options?

Ignore it. As long as you can still run your QBD program you should be fine. You may experience problems if you reinstall the program or move it to another computer.

2017 QuickBooks Desktop prompting for upgrade

Hello, ROguidry.

 

Prompting to Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop is to keep using the product with its latest functions and features. Version 2017 is no longer supported, just disregard it. Unsupported QuickBooks versions don't have the option to do online services. As long as we can still open the file, everything is good.

 

Feel free to visit this article about the features and functions of QuickBooks Desktop's latest version: New and improved features in QuickBooks Desktop 2022.

 

If we have follow-up questions or other concerns about managing your QuickBooks account. Always here to help. Have a great day.

Hi there, @ ROguidry. 

 

I agree with Fiat Lux- ASIA,  you'll want to keep IE as the browser when using QuickBooks Desktop as long as you can run QBD. 

 

You can refer to this page, Upgrade Internet Explorer to open QuickBooks Desktop in case you're having issues with the IE.

 

For other ways of upgrading your QBDT, check out this article: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise
