Hello, @kirkowens! Hope your week is going great so far. :) I can definitely walk you through the process of moving your QuickBooks Desktop to another computer. All you need is a flash drive or some kind of external device. Here are the steps:
- Before you start, make sure you install QuickBooks Desktop on the new computer.
- Follow the steps to create a backup company file on your original computer.
- When you save the backup file, give it a unique name so it's easy to identify. This also prevents accidental overwrites.
- Save the backup file somewhere you can easily find it, like on your desktop.
- Using a flash drive or another external device, move the backup company file to your new computer.
- Follow the steps to restore the backup on your new computer (should be easy to find if you saved it on your desktop).
- If you use payroll, download the latest tax table after you move your file.
Here's the full article with these steps (and additional info) if you'd like to take a look: Move your company file.
