Trying to move a windows 7 machine to a windows 10 machine, migrator doesn't work

I've got you covered, @PCCbkpr.

You can directly download and install QuickBooks Premier Plus for non-profit 2020 to your new computer. I can guide you on how to do it.

First, let's make sure to create a backup copy of your company file.  Then, locate your license number and product number. Just open the program and press F2 on the keyboard. The Product Information window will appear that has all the details you need. This will be use when installing QuickBooks in the new computer. 

Now, let's download and install QuickBooks in your new computer. Here's how:

1. Go to the Downloads & Updates page.
2. Enter your Country, Product, and Version.
3. Click the Search button.
4. Select the Download button.

Once completed, you can start the installation process. You can refer to this article for more detailed instructions: Installing QuickBooks Desktop.

Lastly, to complete the process, you can proceed with restoring the back up copy you've made from the old location to the new computer. Here's how:

1. Go to the File tab.
2. Choose Open or Restore Company.
3. Select Restore a backup copy, then Next.
4. Choose Local Backup, then Next.
5. Pick the location of the backup file from the Look In drop-down.
6. Click the backup file from the folder. The file name should appear as [Company Name].qbb.
7. Select Open, then Next.
8. From the Save in drop-down, choose the location where you want to save the restored file.
9. In the File name field, type a new file name.
10. Select Save.

I think I did exactly as you said.  I created a back up of quickbooks from my old computer.

I found the license number and product information and recorded it. 

On the new computer I went to the download and updates page: downloads.quickbooks.com/app/qbdt/products.  

It did ask me for the country, but didn't ask me for product or version.  

There was no search button.

When I selected download, I got Quickbooks Premier Nonprofit 2013.  I was working on 2020 on the old computer, but because it was windows 7, it wouldn't update to 2021.  All I have is quickbooks desktop, but that isn't helping me. 

How do I download a more recent version of quickbooks premier nonprofit then restore my back up.

thanks

When I launched the 2013 version I couldn't find the company.  So I went to open/restore company from my backup.  It won't restore because the version I backed up (2020) is more recent than what installed on my new laptop.  I have searched all of the help files and I can't figure out how to update my 2013 version with the latest 2020 that I paid for. 

I've come to help you, @PCCbkpr.
