There are processes we'll need to undergo when upgrading your software, classycorps. Let me share some information about this one. 

 

QuickBooks Desktop has a 3-year lifecycle and upgrading it from 2003 to 2016 is a big jump. Also, the QuickBooks Desktop 2016 version is no longer supported. In this case, you'll want to upgrade to newer versions of QuickBooks Desktop. Before doing so, we'll need to create a backup file to ensure the data will be saved before upgrading. You can check out this article for the steps and details: Create a Backup of your Company File

 

Then, make sure your computer is compatible with QuickBooks to utilize the software smoothly. If you need additional help with this one, please reach out to our Technical Support Team. They have resources that can help you through upgrading and converting your company file. Here's how: 

 

  1. Choose Help and hit Contact Us.
  2. Type your concern, then tap Let's talk.
  3. Choose either Get a callback or Start messaging.
  4. Complete the information and Confirm my call or Send message.

 

Moreover, you can check out this article to update your company file so it works in the software's newer versions: Update your company files to a new version of QuickBooks Desktop.
