Shifting from QB for Mac to QB for PC

I am the Treasurer of a Homeowners Association. I use a Mac and I bought a desk top version of QB for Mac 3 years ago to keep the Association books. Cash basis, no payroll, pretty straightforward. My term is ending and my successor uses a PC. She's looking at QB Online to keep the books during her tenure. Can I give her the records for the past 3 years on a little thumb drive? Thank you.

Shifting from QB for Mac to QB for PC

If you purchased a one time license of QB Mac version 3 years ago, it is possible QBD 2016 and outdated. Your successor may have 2 options:

1. QB Desktop 2021

2. QB Online

You should contact Support and ask for Intuit Data Service to convert your file. Otherwise, you have to purchase a 3rd party conversion service.

Shifting from QB for Mac to QB for PC

You would have to export to QB online from within your working file. Be advised once going from QB Mac to QB Online not all things transfer well and it is extremely difficult to get back to any desktop versions.
