When a new version of QuickBooks is available, you'll get a prompt when you open your account. After creating a backup of your current file, here's how to upgrade:

1. Open QuickBooks Desktop, then select Upgrade Now.
2. If you want to keep your current QuickBooks version, select Keep old version on my computer. Then, select Let's go. Otherwise, leave it blank then select Let's go. QuickBooks downloads, installs, and activates the new version for you.
3. When the upgrade finishes, select Open QuickBooks.

The following linked article provides additional info about upgrading QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

@1-888-349-2395 You'll be able to use the full version of 2024 until 2027; after that, it'll work like any other sunsetted QB product.

There is currently no 2025 version, and odds are great that there will not be. QB is trying to shuffle away from Desktop.

if there is no 2025 version why did the pro advisers get charged for the 2025 version in September

@KG43 Not sure exactly what you're referring to, but QB moved to a yearly payment model for (currently) 2022 and forward. You'll still always get charged once a year, depending on when your subscription started.

I got hit in early January, for instance.
