Hi @Fawaz040,
Thank you for posting here in the Community. Let me share some clarification about migrating to QuickBooks Desktop UK.
Currently, a direct way to migrate data from the US version of Desktop is unavailable. You'll need to find a third-party conversion tool to help you transfer the files.
Since we can't suggest an app you can use, I suggest visiting our QuickBooks Apps website. From there, you can find apps integrated with the QuickBooks program. Please visit this page: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/.
To know how data is converted, I suggest contacting third-party support. You can view the contact details directly in the App information. Here's how:
- Go to: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/.
- Open the app.
- Under App information, view the information under Contact.
You can restore an old backup but the source needs to be a UK version too. The steps to restore a backup (.qbb) are still the same as the US version. To learn more about it, please check out this link: Restore a backup of your company file.
It's only possible to migrate to a newer version of QuickBooks UK if the older version you're using has the same region.
You can also check this article for more details about the complete list of file extensions and descriptions to help you understand more about the purpose of the file in QuickBooks: File types and extensions used by QuickBooks Desktop.
Keep us posted if you need anything else regarding the process. Have a great day.

Thanks for getting back with the Community, Luluj.
I can certainly understand how an ability to migrate data from QuickBooks US company files to work with QuickBooks UK could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.
You can also submit your own feature requests while signed in.
Here's how:
- In the top menu bar, go to Help, Send Feedback Online, then Product Suggestion....
- Choose a Type of Feedback and Product Area (optional) from your available drop-down menus.
- Enter any suggestions/feedback in the Here is my suggestion: field.
- If you'd like, include your name/email in the My name is: (optional) and My e-mail address is: (optional) fields.
- Select Send Feedback.
Your feedback's definitely valuable to Intuit. It will be reviewed by our Product Development team and considered in future updates. You can stay up-to-date with the latest news about your product by reviewing Intuit's Product Updates webpage.
As a workaround, you can do some research to identify if there's a third-party conversion tool you can use to help transfer your data.
You also have the option of checking our QuickBooks App Store for apps which may be able to help you achieve what you're looking to do.
Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a wonderful day!
