Hello there, bbraunwv.
I'm here to provide some additional clarification on your question with converting a company file to a newer QuickBooks Desktop version.
Right now, you're only able to upgrade your company files to the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise editions. Converting them back to the Pro or Premier versions is not yet available this time.
For more insights about upgrading or converting company file, I'm adding an article below:
