Encountering migration issues with QuickBooks Desktop can be frustrating and time-consuming, @Víctor. I'm here to help you resolve the migration feature you're experiencing issues with QuickBooks Desktop migration.
If you are trying to use the QuickBooks Migrator Tool to move QuickBooks files from one computer to another, note that 64-bit QuickBooks files can only be migrated from one 64-bit system to another. If you try to use a USB containing files from 64-bit QuickBooks Desktop 2022 or 2023 on a 32-bit Windows system, the migrator tool may stop unexpectedly. You need to prepare a computer connected to the internet and a USB flash drive with enough free space to hold your QuickBooks files.
Furthermore, here are some things you can do to ensure a successful migration:
See to it the computer you are migrating to meets the minimum requirements for QuickBooks migration. Check the compatibility of the QuickBooks version with the operating system, and verify that your computer has enough free disk space for the migration process.
Next, ensure you are using the latest version of QuickBooks for a seamless migration.
- Open QuickBooks and go to the Help menu.
- Select Update QuickBooks and then Update Now.
- Click Get Updates to start the update process.
Through these steps, you can avoid unexpected migration failure and successfully move your QuickBooks files to a new computer.
I'm also adding this page for the step-by-step process of moving QuickBooks to another computer: Move or reinstall QuickBooks Desktop to another.
Additionally, it would be best to create a backup copy of your company file before doing the migration process. If there are changes that occur, having a backup copy allows you to restore it to undo the changes.
