Did you know that you can quickly move your QuickBooks Desktop company file from one computer to another? This process may come in handy in cases of a system crash, or if you want to upgrade your desktop computer or move your files. Note that migrating your company file to another computer does not affect your QuickBooks Desktop license.

If you’re using the US version of QuickBooks Desktop for a single user and you need to move both your product and company file, see the Migrator Tool section on Move or reinstall QuickBooks Desktop to another computer.

Important
  • Before moving your files, make sure that you have already installed QuickBooks Desktop on the new computer.
  • Rename your company file on the old computer to avoid using the wrong file
  • It is not recommended to overwrite a company file. It is best to rename it before you restore a copy since overwriting your file with the incorrect copy means losing your data.
  • If you are using payroll, download the latest tax table after you move your file.
  • If you have attached documents, the files will be unavailable until you manually move it to the correct location.
