Once done, make your company file ready for the update by keeping it free from any data damage. Here's how:
- Log in to QuickBooks as the Admin. The Admin account must have a password.
- Go to the Company menu, select Users, then Edit the Admin user.
- Remove special characters like ":" "&" and "/" from the company file name, then make sure the extension is .qbw.
- Exit and restart QuickBooks.
- Go to the Window menu, then select Close All.
- Go to the File menu, then select Utilities.
- Select Verify Data.
- You’ll see QuickBooks detected no problems with your data file.
